Expert Answer

I think it's nicer to have a separate card for each guest, so I like to address them all individually rather than pairing together as "Mr. and Mrs." for couples.

Question

For informal escort cards using first and last names, no titles, is it appropriate to include Dr. on an escort card, or just his first and last name like the other cards?

As your cards are informal, I would omit the Dr. and go with first and last name like the others. Yes, he's a doctor, but right now he's also being himself as a guest at the wedding, so it would be more personal to just use his name, not his title.

Question

What if one of the family members is a doctor?

As the article states, it's OK to use titles such as "Dr" or "Father" as a sign of respect, as long as you do this consistently.

Question

I am doing a separate escort card for each individual. Can I drop the Mr. and Mrs. and just put full first and last name for everyone?

Community Answer

You probably shouldn't unless you know the people well. They might take it as a sign of disrespect.

Question

If the husband is a doctor, do I address her as Mrs. Doctor Deanna Cossio?

Tom De Backer

Top Answerer

No. The 'doctor' part is not transferred to the spouse. You address her as Mrs. Deanna Cossio.
