    My grandparents are the only people I know who prefer Mr. & Mrs. John Smith. My parents prefer John & Jane Smith. I think it really depends on your family and friends' individual preference.

    We did John and Jane Smith -- our wedding was pretty relaxed and we didn't use any titles. We did personalized RSVPs, and only used first names for those.

    We did Jane and John Smith, according to etiquette you don't separate the man's first and last name.

    We did the formal Mr.and Mrs. John Smith for invites, but then did Jane and John Smith for escort cards.

    We had inner and outer envelopes. Outer - we went old school: Mrs. and Mrs. John Smith. Inner - how we would address them in conversation: Jane and John. We probably broke etiquette rules with the inner envelopes but I wanted them to be more personal.

    Honestly, I tailored it a bit for each couple. Most of my older relatives, I went with the traditional 'Mr and Mrs John Smith.' If they were younger, or I had some other reason to think they'd roll their eyes at that (you don't want to piss off all the feminists in your family...) I would another suitable etiquette-friendly way to get my point across.
