Invitation wording when groom is a doctor

I would ask him if he wanted to include his title. I personally would never include that in my invitation as my wedding has nothing to do with my degree or my career.

I wouldn’t include my professional title on my wedding invitation as it’s a social event, not a professional one.

I would just put his name. I think it would look odd to have a professional title on a wedding invitation.

View Quoted Comment I agree. I think it looks pretentious. My fiancé doesn’t want it but it was brought up by another member of the family

My thought is that all of your guests probably know he is a doctor. Also, as Chrysta mentioned, with this being a social event and not a professional one, I think leaving titles off is more appropriate. However, there is no wrong decision.

View Quoted Comment If he doesn't want it, then I wouldn't put it on there. I have several friends who are doctors and that was not included in their wedding invitation, even in instances where both were doctors. Honestly, if I saw that, I would probably roll my eyes cuz it would strike me as very pretentious. However, when I've been to weddings where the people were doctors, when the couple is announced for the 1st time, they will use the titles, so like Dr. and Dr. or Dr. and Mrs. or Dr. and Mr. Smith.

If your fiance doesn't want it, then you don't include it. If the family member says something then you say "he didn't want his professional title on our wedding invitations"

My husband is a doctor and we didn’t add his title anywhere.

I agree with all, that you can ask him if he wanted to add his title on the invitation and also that this event is a personal not professional so it is not necessary to have it on there. I think it is more necessary when addressing to (a) guest(s), that have that kind of professional title, on stationary.

View Quoted Comment I think you have your answer since he is against it.

Depends how formal you want to be. But if he doesn't want it, then it shouldn't go there!

Actually, the more traditional ones use first names only. I prefer first name and last, but no professional title .

I think the only time you would put titles is if you’re mentioning parents beforehand, I’ve seen invites say the parents were doctors inviting you to their child’s wedding - not on the bride and groom.

You would only put titles for the guests or parents, not the couple.

If he doesn’t want it, then don’t do it.
