I know this is an early question to ask but I am creating my list and I got to my bosses and I have a question. I work attorneys so I have a few questions about addressing their envelope.
My boss is an attorney and his wife hyphanets (sp?) her last name. Should I write out their envelope: Mr & Mrs John Smith, Esq. or Mr John Smith, Esq. Mrs. Ann Johnson-Smith
Also, what about an attorney whose wife does not hyphanet (sp?) her last name? Do I write it out: Mr & Mrs John Smith, Esq. or Mr & Mrs John Smith
Thanks for your help on this.

My recollection is that Emily & Martha agree - no esquire.

When you put MR. you dont put ESQ. When you dont put the MR. you put the ESQ. - so i would just drop the ESQ.

Thanks everyone but if I put Esq., should his wife get her own line.

My dad and fiance are both lawyers. I have never seen them get an invitation that has the esq.

Everyone is right, leave off the Esq. The correct way of addressing their invitation would be:
Mrs. Ann Johnson-Smith And Mr John Smith

If you use Mr. or Ms. or Mrs., no Esq. Frankly, unless it's business related, there's no need for the Esq.

I'm not adding the Esq. for my bosses' invitations. And I would not be offended if I got an invite w/o it (when I become an attorney )
