Addressing question

How do you address a wedding invitation when the wife is the doctor (and goes by her husband's name) but the husband is not. Is it Mr. and Doctor John Smith. This particular person we need to invite happens to be an expert in ettiquette and would not like to offend him. I do know that 'Doctor' is spelled out, not abbreviated.

Thanks for your help!

what I found:

When only the wife is degreed use Mr. John Doe and Doctor Jane Doe (Mr. John Doe and Dr. Jane Doe). A separate line for each may be preferable.

(spelling out Doctor is the more formal approach)

Lisa beat me toit. Two separate lines. Each addressed with their appropriate titles (spelled out)

We addressed ours to say..Mr. and Dr. Joe Smith. (Not sure if this is the right way but the way we did it.)
