Here is a primmer to help you solve some of these issues and more.
A married couple when the husband is in the military and stationed overseas:
address the invite to both of them at their permanent address.
An unmarried couple, straight or gay, who live together: list their names on separate lines, either one first.
A married couple with two different last names: write their names on the same line with the women's name first; if the combined names are too long to fit on one line, then list them separately - the woman's name always first.
The boyfriend of a guest when the couple is not living together: send him a separate invitation at his address. The same if for a girlfriend.
A guest who goes by a nickname: if you don't know the guests' real name, call and ask how they'd like to be addressed.
A married couple, in which the wife is a medical doctor; list her first with her title; if the combined names are too long to fit on one line, list them separately.

The above examples were taken from Bridesmag.com - September/October 2009 issue.
