Mr. Bradley and Dr. Karen Smith if they use the same last name
If different last names:
Mr. Bradley Smith and Dr. Karen Jones-Smith
You spell out Doctor on your Wedding Invitation, say if your father, or mother, or you or the groom are a Doctor. Sames goes for Reverend...you spell it out on the Invitation itself.
But when addressing invitations, the abbreviations are used.
Hope this helps!

I actually used the abbreviation on the invitation (*gasp!*). It looked weird to me to spell out "Doctor" for both of my parents (not to mention it made the line SUPER long) but to keep "Mr. and Mrs." for his parents (and I definitely wasn't about to spell that out!).

Huh, I hadn't even thought about that.. FI's dad is a PhD, but everyone else is a Mr. or Mrs... can I do Doctor and Mrs. Juan Malarky (not their real name) or does it have to be Doctor and Missus? Or Mistress? How do you spell out Mrs. anyway?
Maybe I'll just skip it all and put Juan and Jane Malarky...
You use Dr. as a title only for a medical doctor, not for a PhD. If you want to recognize the education of a PhD, the correct way is to include the initials PhD after the name (Mr. Juan Malarky, PhD) However, there is no reason to do that on a wedding invitation unless you are going to recognize everybody else's professional qualifications (PE, CHP, where would it end?) Quaint is correct, you do not spell out "Doctor" unless you are also going to spell out "Mister."

Hi,
When addressing envelopes, do I need to spell out Doctor or use Dr.? I googled and am getting conflicting results. Also how did you address is the woman is the doctor and the man is not?
