I started by calling them Mr. and Mrs (name here) and now call them by their first names. I always call adults by their titles until invited to do otherwise. That's how I was raised.
This brings up another point--it drives me absolutely nuts when people at the bank call me by my first name. I didn't ask to be called by my first name, and I believe they should be addressing me by my title--Ms. (name here)--since I didn't invite them to do otherwise.
Guess I'm old-fashioned like that, but I prefer to be called Ms. (name here) over my first name by strangers.
