Hi, I want to send a thank-you card to the parents of a bride. I had a great time at the wedding in Newport, RI. I know the mother very well, and the husband not so well. How should I address the note?

–Mary

Address the envelope to the bride’s parents as Mr. and Mrs. John H. Wilson (using their real name), then their address. In the greeting of the thank-you card, it should be “Dear Susan and John,” the names of the parents.
