Married doctors would be addressed as The Doctors Smith on both the outer and inner envelopes. If both are doctors and have different last names, the names would be listed in alphabetical order (on separate lines) with &#8220;and&#8221; in between the names. The inner envelope would read: Dr. Doe and Dr. Jones (alphabetical). A doctor and wife, who is not a doctor, would be addressed as: Dr. John Smith on the first line and Mrs. John Smith on the second line. <\/p>\n<h1>andrea111 <\/h1>\n<p>Thank you so much!
