i think u can get away with mr. & Mrs.

I think mr. & Dr sounds funny..

I think instead of Mr. and Dr. Joe Smith it should be Mr. Joe and Dr. Jane Smith...I'm not a Dr. or anything but I would assume that someone who worked so hard to get a title would prefer to be adressed by it...HTH

My FH is a doctor and he has tons of Dr friends, male and female - married.

From the Crane's Book of Wedding Etiquette:

In Which Woman Is a Doctor

Doctor Christine Clayton and Mr. Troy Clayton

or

Mr. and Mrs. Clayton

or

Doctor Clayton and Mr. Clayton

HTH!

Put the woman first when addressing 'Doctor'

Yup!




And if that's the case you do this:

The Doctors Clayton

or

Doctor Christine Clayton and Doctor Troy Clayton

Always check with the woman first to make sure she uses her professional title socially.

Many women do not and prefer to be 'Mrs.'
