Issue with Addressing

I am not sure how to go about wording the addresses for this situation. I have several sets of friends who are in nontraditional marriage situations. There is one husband but 2 wives. They all have the same last name.  Is it Mr & Mrs & Mrs John Doe for the outer envelope? I'm a little at a loss. I don't want to be rude to them about their alternative choice, who am I to judge. So I need a little help here.

Re: Issue with Addressing

  • I don't know if there is any true etiquette on this.

    Could you address each person by name?

    Mr John Smith
    Mrs Ann Smith
    Mrs Sarah Smith
    123 Main Street
    Anytown, USA 54321


    You could also just CALL them and ask them how they'd like to be addressed. It's possible the second wife can't legally use the husband's name, and a litany of other things, etc...
