  Well if she hasn't divorced yet and you say that it seems like their working on their marriage you have no reason to believe that she's changed her name.
  I think you should address her invite by how she has it on her FB page.  She didn't want his name any longer and had changed it legally I would imagine that she would have changed it on there as well.
  
  For the SW thing.. I think SW is fine but you can write out Southwest if you want.
  
  BTW Nati, did you order those shoes yet in your siggy with the peep to?  I just got mine lastnight and when they say their made 1/2 size big I think they meant 1 full size.

  Does her status on FB say that she is married still?  If there are recent pics of her and her husband I would just send the invite to both of them as Mr. and Mrs. John Smith. 
  
  I would spell it out Southwest.  We spelled out the state too we did not abbreviate on anything.  Ex. 
  
  Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
  1234 Anywhere Street
  Raleigh, North Carolina
  07522

  addressing is SUCH A PAIN!
  
  The biggest issue we came across with save the dates that I know we are going to agonize over when we start addressing our invites is with doctors. Fiance is a doctor of pharmacy, and he has LOTS of friends who are also doctors of pharmacy, and for formal letters, they all address each other as Dr. Smith. We also have a handful of dentists we are inviting.  
  
  What if both husband and wife are Dr.? Dr. and Dr. Smith?
  
  What if only the female is the doctor? that is the one we really struggled with...Mr. and Dr. John Smith?  It just looked so funny to us.....
  
  If someone is divorced, but kept their old last name, are they still Mrs.?

  I think Crane has some really good advice on addressing invitations and other etiquette pertaining to invitations: http://www.crane.com/etiquette/wedding/
  
  It's better (and I think more appropriate for modern times) than Emily Post. Just my opinion, though

  For the "SW" question, I think before a street name, yes spell it out.
  
  ex. For "E 32nd St" put "East 32nd Street"
  
  But if it's part of the post code, it could mess things up for the post office. I live in the first district of south east London, so it should be written as London SE1. Likewise, in DC, addresses always are followed by either NW, SW, NE, or SE and I think it looks awful to write them all out and it may confuse the post office.
  
  If you're really unsure on how to write one out, just put it into Google maps and see how they do it. If you spell it out and it still finds the house, you're probably okay.

  Madison, no I haven't ordered my shoes yet. Mine in my size are backordered til April anyway. Did your shoes actually say on the site they're 1/2 size big? Mine say they are true to size. But who the hell knows what that actually means.
  
  Lady, her FB status is non-existant lol. That's the first thing I went to check. And that's another thing... he isn't coming. She bought a ticket for herself haha.. so I'm only addressing it to her. They don't even live together anymore.
  
  Butterfly, OMG I know! I seriously get to the point that I want to put people's names AS IS and say screw it!! Actually we have a couple that did that recently haha. They're in our group of friends and they wrote all their friends' nicknames on their envelopes and hand delivered them. It was actually kinda cute and personal.
  
  Thanks for the link Bride, I'll check it out!
  
  Bmore yeah it's just part of the street name, so I think I'll write it out
