INVITE ADDRESS'ing Question

If you are inviting an attorney(s), how would you address the invite?

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

OR

Mr. John Smith, Esq., Mrs. John Smith?


OR am I totally off?

I don't think you need to put Esq. on the invitations at all. It's not one of the titles that is usually used on invitations.

But it would be

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith Esquire (no abbreviation)

ETA: Actually it seems to conflict whether you abbreviate 'esquire', however, it's not usually used

I would never, ever use the Esq. abbreviation on invites.

I'd just do Mr. & Mrs. John Smith.

I probably invited 30 attorneys to our wedding (mostly females) and didn't put Esq on a single invite. It's just something that anyone uses in everyday life. I drew the line at Dr. so and so.
