Dr. and Mrs. John Doe

I broke out the etiquette book and here's what it said:

Situation: Husband and Wife (Wife had professional title)

Inner Envelope: Dr. Smith and Mr. Smith

Outer Envelope: Dr. Anita Smith
Mr. Thomas Smith
(wife's name and title above husband's)

This is per 'The Ultimate Guide to Planning the Perfect Wedding'

Ugh!!! What a pain in the neck, but I HTH!

helpful addressing article
this is what i used when i did my invites

HTH

thanks this is really helping... but what do i do when the husband is the professional title?

Mrs. Anita Smith and Dr. John Smith

If the husband is the professional then it's:

Dr. and Mrs. John Smith

ETA: And if you really want to be technical, whenever there is a 'Dr.' you're supposed to write out 'Doctor'

So.............

Doctor and Mrs. John Smith

Edited again for being stupid and spelling 'Doctor', 'Docter'

oh crap-o-la - what the Heck is the difference between Ms. and Miss - i did everyone as Ms. ??????

I am serious, but I really don't think it's necessary. I think that if you want to be super etiquette that you would then spell out 'Doctor'. I know for my STD I put Dr.

i am so over etiquette!!! LOL

how bout this i didnt realize that i abreviated the states on the list i gave my calligrapher.. so its says for example great neck, NY instead of Great Neck, New York

so i am looking over the proofs i should change all of them to spell out the state right?

yes, you should spell out the names of states and streets, routes, etc

i.e. New York
Main Street
Route 18
Apartment 3
Post Office Box 90
