To address a married woman on an envelope in English, use "Mrs." followed by her first name and last name if she has taken her husband's name, such as "Mrs. Jane Smith." Traditionally, it can also be "Mrs." with her husband's full name, like "Mrs. John Smith," though the first option is more common in modern etiquette.
