Addressing invite to a couple where the woman's name is hyphenated.

I was always taught that "Mrs." should only preface a woman's name when you're addressing her by her husband's name. aka "Mrs. Smith" or "Mrs. Bob Smith" or "Mr. and Mrs. Bob Smith"

I wouldn't use any title at all, just use their names and put the woman first connected with an "and" or "ampersand" to indicate the marriage. If it doesn't fit on one line that's okay, just make sure you use that connector.

Susie Adams-Smith & John Smith

Susie Adams-Smith and

John Smith

ETA - I think that applies anytime a married couple has different last names.

IIRC it should be

Ms. Jane Smith-Doe and Mr. John Doe

Oh yes, and Angelina's right.

I've always felt uncomfortable addressing a married woman as "Ms." but only b/c my mom hated it. So I revert to informal address in that situation. But if you want to address formally then do what Angelina said, it's correct!

This is a very helpful post because I have family members with hyphenated names and was not sure how to address something to them either.
