Addressing 2 Doctors

I have a couple on FH's side...they're both doctors...with the same last name. How do I address their invitation?

good question... i had a doc invite to write too but they werent married so it was Dr. - and Dr. -

I would assume that you some how pluralize Dr. But im not sure.

Yes, Dr. and Dr., I think. But Drs. sounds good too.

Also, I learned (too late) that you only address medical doctors as dr. on an invite - not PhD Drs. HTH

They're not medical doctors...so I should keep it Mr. & Mrs?

That is what I had read somewhere after addressing my uncle as 'dr.' and he is PhD. I just found this at Crane's Blue Book for Wedding Etiquette:

In Which Both Are Doctors
Outside Envelope
Doctor and Mrs. Troy Clayton
or
The Doctors Clayton
or
Doctor Christine Clayton
and Doctor Troy Clayton

Inside Envelope
Doctor and Mrs. Clayton
or
The Doctors Clayton

Also found on Crane's Blue Book:

My father has a Ph.D. does he use 'Doctor' on my wedding invitations?

Ph.D. is an academic title that is used only in academic settings. The use of 'Doctor' on wedding invitations is reserved for medical doctors and ministers with advanced degrees.
