Addressing Envelope for Judge



Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

How do I address an invitation to a judge and his wife? Isn't the proper way Judge John Doe and Mrs. Doe?

Signed,

Simple Question

Dear Simple Question, Dear Simple question--There are several ways to properly address an envelope for a judge and spouse:

Male Judge:

Judge John Doe and Mrs. Doe

Judge and Mrs. John Doe

The Honorable and Mrs. John Doe

The Honorable John Doe and Mrs. Doe

Female Judge:

Judge Jane Doe and Mr. John Doe

The Honorable Jane Doe and Mr. John Doe.

Please note that the names can be put on separate lines connected with "and" because "and" indicates that they are married.

"The Honorable" can also be used when addressing envelopes for elected officials such as city council, mayor, Governor, members of Congress, State Attorney General, and Ambassadors.
