Groom's parents both doctors – Wedding Invitation Etiquette?
July 20, 2008
What is the proper wedding announcement etiquette when both of the groom's parents are doctors. The bride's parents are hosting the event. Here are some examples, but I need some help….
Mr. and Mrs. John and Sue Peters
are pleased to announce …..
son of Drs. Gary and Lynn Elliot
OR
John and Sue Peters
are pleased to announce …
son of Drs. Gary and Lynn Elliot
OR
Mr. and Mrs. John Peters
are pleased to announce….
son of Drs. Gary Elliot
Any idea which way or any other suggestions???
first one – if you're doing the Dr title, then the MR & Mrs title is used. if you are not doing a Mr & mrs then no Drs.
now technically here's the thing….. if you are fully hosting – very often the groom's name is there alone. however if the kids are still "kids" then both the parents names are mentioned.

That is a tough one. Perhaps you should contact the invitation printing company- they may have tackled this issue before.
