I don't care and I didn't change my name when we got married. I'm just happy to get a real card in the mail!

Mr and Mrs John Smith is the correct etiquette for fromal cards and letters and it doesnt bother me although people never call me that because my husbands last name is hyphenated so its quite a mouthfull on its own
-
This annoys me so much. My husband and I are both physicians and I kept my maiden name. But we still get mail addressed to Dr and Mrs hisfirstname hislastname. Sorry but I'm not a Mrs and neither of those are my name! I don't know why it bothers me so much but it totally does!

@Arden: thanks, that's exactly what I meant
I'm Mrs g, but I'm not Mrs j g

@kjn: The Dr and Mrs thing would really annoy me if I were a doctor as well. That's really bothersome that people wouldn't recognize your title as well as his.
I think I might end up getting passive aggressive and returning it to sender, marked "No Dr. and Mrs. at this address. Home is occupied by Dr. and Dr.". lol -
Nah, doesn't bother me at all.

I hate it! And I took husband's last name. I address things using both first names (and last, if they're different). Or I just do "Mr. and Mrs. (Lastname)".
A few years ago, some friends of ours got married and combined last names (so they both took each other's name, hyphenated with their own.) Does that make sense? Anyway, his family held a hometown reception for them, and made a big banner that said "Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. (guy's last name only)!". It was kind of a slap in the face, because it was known that the guy's family wasn't happy about the unconventional name change of their son.

I think it's kind of cute, as usually the only people in my circle who address things that way are older relatives. It's something of a generational divide. I didn't even take DH's last name, but I'm okay with it. I might think it was odd if someone my own age did it though.

@Arden: The funny thing is I'm not really a formal person and I definitely don't mind not being called Dr. And I also don't mind being called by my husband's last name in social situations. But the combination of dropping my Dr and calling me by my husband's first name really irks me.

I highly dislike. I have a name. I also hyphenated my last name. Most people don't do this, so I don't see it often. It also tends to be people who don't know me very well.
I'm Mrs g, but I'm not Mrs j g
