When addressing a letter or invitation to a married couple who use the same last name, it is correct to write Mr and Mrs Tom Cruise. You list their first names only if the woman uses her maiden name or a hyphenated name. In those instances, you list the man first and write Mr Tom Cruise and Ms Katie Holmes or Mr Tom Cruise and Ms Katie Holmes-Cruise.

However, if a woman outranks her husband, her name comes first, as in The Honorable Kate Holmes and Mr Tom Cruise.
