Best Answer

Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Jane Doe

or

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

Either would be correct, though the latter appears more formal and less cumbersome.

Proper salutation for a husband and wife with different last names?

Assuming a business letter to husband and wife with different last names who you don't know the proper business salutation is to have the the wife's name first before the husband's accompanied by the proper titles. For example: Dear Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Jones, (salutation on letter) Mrs. Susan Thompson and Mr. Jeremy Jones (address on envelope and letter) Note that you could use "Ms." instead of "Mrs." if you prefer, although I recommend that since in this example you know they are married I would choose "Mrs." Jim Lumley jimlumley@live.com
