How to address wedding couple when mailing gift card
I want to mail a wedding card and gift card to a couple who are to be married. The return address on the invitation lists the name of bride and groom as if they are already married and living at the same address. How do I address them on the envelope for my wedding card and gift card?

Dear Kapgood,
This is odd. They may be hosting a pretend wedding, which they perceive as a vow renewal, and are already married. Some people don't realize that this is not polite or appropriate. If this is the case, you are not obligated to send a gift, as a vow renewal or pretend wedding are not gift giving occasions.
I have no idea of why they would list themselves as husband and wife on their return address unless they already are--very odd. So, it is confusing about how to address them. I supposed you could list them as they have if you decide to send them a gift.
Now, just in case I am misreading this and the names of the couple are not the same (they are not married), you could address the envelope with their names in alphabetical order: Ms. Jane Brown (on the top line) and Mr. John Smith (on the second line).
