Addressing envelope to doctors

I have a close friend that is a physician. Her spouse is also a physician. They hyphenated their last names when they married. I'm seeing a few different ways to address the envelopes in this case, but I'm wondering which looks most correct? Drs. Jones-Smith Or Dr Mary Smith- Jones and Dr Emily...

Drs. Jones-Smith

Or

Dr Mary Smith- Jones and Dr Emily Smith-Jones

Thanks!

    Either is correct. I did Drs. For the couple I had. I used a website I found it had me type in all info then gave some options

    Not Drs. I would write it out like Lynnie suggested or write Dr and Dr last name.

    Drs looks odd. Possibly Dr./Dr. Smith like you would for Mr./Mrs. Smith

    We didn't use titles. My stepmom is a doctor and on the invitation I said Mrs. Her name and our last name. I have a friend who is also a doctor and so is her husband, I did ask her though and she said Mr and Mrs is fine.
