I'm inviting a married female doctor to the wedding, and her husband is not a doctor. How do I word the invitation? Do I put her name first because her title is 'higher'?
Like Dr. Jane Smith and Mr. John Smith?
TIA!

I believe it's:
Mr. Joe Smith and Dr. Jane Smith
I can't find the Emily Post article to confirm though. Sorry!

The woman actually goes first in this scenario; I quadruple-checked.
Dr. Elizabeth Smith and Mr. Joseph Smith

Nothing I read seemed to explain the rationale. It all just said that if the wife is a doctor and the husband is not, the woman's name goes first.

Title takes precedent over gender so that sounds right. Sorry for the wrong information above!

Official titles always go first, so things like dr & rev trump mr.

Agreed, it is Dr. and Mr. So and So. I'm a Dr and have lots of Dr friends who are female and married and this is the proper way
