Letter Writing

jr. after a man's name

If a man is married and his name is John Smith, Jr., how do you write that in a return address that includes his wife's first name?

John and Jane Smith, Jr.
Is this way correct?

I know it would be formally: Mr. & Mrs. John Smith, Jr., but I wasn't sure about when just using our first names as in the example I gave above.

Thank you.
