When you have doctors coming to the wedding

do you write down Dr and Dr? Or still mr and mrs?

Both spouses are doctors? Then, you could write 'The Doctors Smith.'

It would be Dr. & Mrs. John Smith.

We had this problem too, as over half of the ppl coming to our wedding are Drs. (including FH and I). While it is perfectly fine to address the invitations as stated above, I was told that it is more formal to list each seperately (Doctor X and Doctor X).

Re: When you have doctors coming to the wedding

My family is full of doctors.
Formal is The Doctors Smith
I'm going semi-formal
Drs. Michael & Lisa Smith
I think 'The Doctors Smith' sounds weird.

We have the same problem- not with our family, but with our friends and us.

I definitely like the less formal and plan to do that.

Re: When you have doctors coming to the wedding

I like the 'Dr. John and Jane Smith' approach.

I think I will use that :) thanks girls!

Re: When you have doctors coming to the wedding

Why would it ? lol Just out of curiosity. I would think the Governmental title would be first no?

one of FH's close friends are both Dr's with different last names and the last example is what we are using.
