Addressing a husband and wife who are both Reverends: Reverends John & Jane Doe.
When addressing an envelope to the wife of a doctor who is not a doctor herself then and he is Dr. John Doe, then address the envelope to her as Mrs. John Doe or Ms. (Mrs.) Jane Doe.
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith". "The Reverend" is never used in direct address. If addressing an envelope (and therefore third person) it should be "Mr John and The Reverend Jane Smith".
If the letter/invitation is primarily to the reverend but also her husband: Rev. Mary Smith and Mr. John Smith If the letter/invitation is primarily to the husband but includes the wife: Mr. John Smith and Rev. Mary Smith If it is strictly a business letter and not church related: Mr. & Mrs. John Smith
How about Mr. and Mrs.
The Revd. & Mr. X
If you know the name of the husband, it is proper etiquette to address the mailing envelope to "Mr. and Mrs. [his name here]". On the inner envelope the addressing can be much more informal, with a simple "John and Jane", etc.Another PerspectiveThis is the twenty first century. Women have names and an existence apart from their husbands. An invitation can be addressed to Margaret and William Anderson. Most etiquette books are decades behind the times.
* Addressing a female doctor and her husband: Mr. John Doe and Dr. Jane Doe.
