I want to send a holiday card to my dentist and her husband. She uses her maiden name (I am friendly enough
That I call her by her first name)
Anyway, I want to send the card to her home. I will make up their names but this is my dilemma.

Do I address the envelope Dr. Rita Smith
And under it Mr. John Blane

I can't do Mr and Mrs. Because she is Dr. Smith... it's so awkward. Would appreciate your advice

Dr. Rita Smith and Mr. John Blane (on one line, if possible)
