What is the proper way to address a husband and wife when the husband is a Junior as an example Bill and Peggy Smith Jr?
The point of adding Junior is to distinguish a man from his father of the same name.
Assuming that:
* Bills mother isn't also a Peggy (in which case they might settle on calling one 'Peg')
* this is not a legal document (in which case it would be William K. Smith, Junior and Margaret P. Smith) and then simply 'Bill and Peggy Smith' is certainly acceptable for any personal mail such as Christmas cards, invitations, etc.
In an obituary, if Bill's uncle died they would be listed as 'Bill Smith, Jr and his wife Peggy'.
The traditional form of 'Mr. and Mrs. Bill Smith, Jr' is still acceptable and always correct, but very much less common, as women prefer to be acknowledged in their own rights, not merely as an addition to their husbands.
Now that these rules are less strict, much of it comes down to personal preference. When in doubt, ask Bill and Peggy.
