Just as the title says.... We've been doing Mr & Miss Firstname, e.g. Mr. Mike & Miss Kate, but it sounds awkward sometimes! We feel like first names are not as respectful (although we do it sometimes), and Mr & Mrs. Lastname is too formal. What do you all do?

Good question! I feel like probably just first names, when she is old enough to really call them anything. For some of our really close friends we may ask if they want to be aunt/uncle.

Mr and Miss First Name. That's standard in the South
-
Just first names, unless it is an elderly person, then Mr/Mrs Lastname. Standard for my area

When I was a kid, I always called adults by their first names. It never crossed my mind that it could be disrespectful. However, now that I'm a mom, I notice it's more common for kids to use Mr./Miss first name. I'm not sure what I'll have my kids do, but it will probably be influenced by my social circle.

Mr. and Ms. First Name. Aunt/uncle for a couple chosen friends (like godparents).
-
Just first name, or aunt/uncle first name if they are our close friends. Not a fan of Mr./Miss.

Mr. and Miss first name. It's a bit awkward-sounding for some males, so sometimes we use "friend" depending on the relationship.
-
Just first names.

Depending on the person mr or mrs first name or aunt/uncle.
-
Just first names.

Just first names. We live in CA though, which I'm guessing is more casual than the south.

First names only.

Close friends (godparents, lifelong friends) are called Uncle/Aunt "first name".
Everyone else is just the first name.
