How to Address Escort Cards

Hi Ladies !!!
So... what are the rules with the escort cards?  Can you combine a couple or does each person have their own?  

If you combine, do you go formal -  "Mr & Mrs. John Smith" or informal "John & Mary Smith" 

I've been googling & I've basically seen a mix of opinions on joint or each has his own. i don't have to track meals, so there is no need to have each person have their own name on a card. 
I'm literally making my own - cutting card stock, handwriting, & (mine is a Winter Wedding) I got a cute snowflake hole punch for the corners.  We'll have about 200 guests, so each person having their own vs a joint card could play into my decision to create my own.

    We gave couples a joint card and addressed it formally (Mr & Mrs John Smith).

    If you're not attaching the cards to favors for each guest or using the cards for meal choices, I see no reason why you cannot do a joint card.  Make the formality match the formality of your wedding.  

    We did a joint card for couples and omitted titles (Jane & John Smith).

    I think joint cards are fine. For the wording, I would match it to the formality of your event.

    Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, or John and Mary Smith are all acceptable ways to address your escort cards.

    If families/couples are sitting together, I would put them on the same card.
