Help
Help? My father has a doctorate degree and would be hurt if I didn’t use Dr. as his title on the wedding invitation. My fiancé is a medical doctor.
Is it correct to use Dr. before both of their names, even though it would seem confusing (don't want people to think they are both MDs). Or should I use Ed.D. and M.D. after their names instead? I am very confused.

Dear Confused,
It has become appropriate to write Dr. before the names of those with Ph.Ds now. So, you can write Dr. before both names.
