Use the periods, just not after Miss — Ms. is interesting – for a divorced woman for sure, and some single women like using it. I never liked it – I was a Miss til I was a Mrs.!!!

Mr. & Mrs. John Smith is how it should be worded. and like the other person said Miss is for a younger person and Ms. is for an older person not married! Hope that helps and good luck!

Period after all of them except Miss if you are American. Sometimes other countries do not use the period. And Ms. is NOT for an unmarried woman, it is for ANY woman. Just as Mr. does not tell a person whether or not a man is married, Ms. does not make that distinction either. Miss is for an unmarried woman. Mrs. and Miss are generally considered more formal, but making the distinction may be considered sexist by some today, so whether to use Mrs., Ms., or Miss really depends on the tastes of people you're addressing. Older married women will often be quite happy with Mrs., while younger unmarried women may prefer Ms. to Miss.

Yes, there should be a period after Mr., Mrs. and Ms. (although I don’t think that Ms. is really proper). There isn’t a period after Miss.

Ooh! I was wrong about the Ms. not being proper! This should help: http://www.emilypost.com/everyday/forms_of_address.htm

I believe the correct way is Mr. and Mrs. John Smith. Miss is usually for someone young, Ms. is for an unmarried woman.
