Invitation Addressing Help Please

I would just write "Mr. and Dr. Jane Doe." Or, "Dr. Jane Doe and Spouse."

I would ask her. But since it’s the save the date and you’re hoping for it to be a surprise: you could just address it to her. When you speak about it after she’s received it (but before invites go out), specifically ask her for his name and make it clear he is invited too.

I had to ask some people their names but they were still surprised and happy

I like this idea! I plan on hand delivering the StD and was going to get her home address once I delivered it, so it would be easy to get her husband's name then too. Thanks!

You can address it just to her because it is a STD (an announcement), not a formal invitation. Or you can address it as Dr. ABC and Family, Dr. ABC and Guest, Dr. ABC and Spouse, Dr. and Mr. ABC.

If you use Dr. and Mr. ABC, it will give her the opportunity to let you know the correct way to address the formal invitation in the future.

For female physicians, we did: "Dr. FirstName LastName and Mr. FirstName LastName"

If you're going to hand deliver it anyway, I would give it to her without an envelope so you don't have to address anything. You can mention it's for her and her husband, and ask for his name and their mailing address for the invitation.

Mr. and Dr. Jane Doe would probably be best. But I would still ask for the husband's name because you're going to need it eventually for escort cards/seating charts.

How are you doing RSVPs? I ask because I did all my RSVPs online so when they responded they had to enter first and last name of each guest. Helped get exact spellings and in this case you would also be able to get the full name. I would therefore for save the date just do Dr and Mr last name, or Dr last name and Mr last name.
