Also, if both are doctors, DO NOT address the envelope as Dr and Mrs. John Doe! That is my PET PEEVE! I was a doctor before my husband...why do I lose my honorific? If you leave it as Mr and Mrs, I'm fine, but don't give man honorific to the an without giving the same courtesy to the woman! It should be addressed "Drs. Doe," "Drs. John and Jane Doe" or "Dr. John Doe and Dr. Jane Doe."

This is my personal belief, and I'm sure up for contentious debate, but I don't think you should ever use "Mrs." or "Miss" unless you KNOW that is what the woman in question prefers ... I have always hated both and shudder at things addressed to me as "Mrs. [whatever they think my last name is at the moment]". Please just call me Ms.!
