On the small envelope containing the placecard, what is the proper address?
President and Mrs. Bill Keller
President & Mrs. Keller
Pres. & Mrs. Bill Keller?
President Bill and Mrs. Eileen Keller?
Help!

If I were sending that I would just write " Bill and Eileen " and if I wanted to be more formal " Bill and Eileen Keller ". By the way they are guests not attendees.

I take it you aren't expecting them to share a chair? Can't they each have their own card in their own space?
So 1 card reading 'President Keller' and 1 card reading 'Mrs Keller'. or with their first names as well/instead.
Don't call her Mrs Bill though - that is very old fashioned etiquette and a lot of women find it offensive.
