I think it's admirable that you were raised to show respect to your elders, and starting with "Mr." and "Mrs." is a safe bet. But if they prefer to be called something else, I would do it. Etiquette is about making people comfortable, right? So if they strongly prefer not to be called "Mr and Mrs" go with their preferences.
I call mine their first names...I think I always have. We also call them "Utah Mom" and "Utah Dad" (as opposed to "Minnesota Mom" and "Minnesota Dad") sometimes to be funny.
