Envelope Addressing: Doctors and Blended Families

When addressing an envelope to two married doctors:

If the wife has kept her maiden name for professional reasons

Dr. Andy Baldwin and Dr. Elle Ross

1234 Sandstone Dr.

Melbourne, FL 34456

or

If they have the same last name

Dr. Andy Baldwin and Dr. Elle Baldwin

1234 Sandstone Dr.

Melbourne, FL 34456

Blended families can create challenging situations when it comes to addressing invitations and maintaining respect for all parties involved. 

If you are addressing a couple and their child(ren) has(have) a different last name:

Mr. and Mrs. James Feldman

Lily and Henry Stone

2224 Windy Trace

Mobile, AL 23456

Etiquette: Envelope Addressing

Hello, and happy Monday!
This week I thought I would concentrate on Envelope Addressing. Lately I have had a lot of my wedding invitation clients and Ashley Brooke Designs Blog readers ask me questions concerning envelope addressing. I know that there are quite a few different ways to address an envelope - formal, informal, etc. So we will cover a few of these ways this week.

How to Address Invitations

I recently came upon this problem and was super confused on how to address an invitation to two doctors that are married but have different last names.

This is the information I found via The Knot

I hope this is helpful for you too!

If a wife and husband are both doctors,
the outer and inner envelopes should be addressed to:

"The Doctors Rosenthal."

It's that simple!

If they're married but have different last
names, list both names in alphabetical order on separate lines:

"Dr. Rosenthal" followed by "Dr. Schwartz".

If only one spouse is a doctor, list the
person with the professional name first:

"Dr. Kate Randolph Mr. Brian Randolph"
or "Dr. Kate Randolph and Mr. Brian Randolph"

(if it fits on one line).
