The first option would tend to offend MDs and Ph.D.'s while the second
seems to be a lesser honor. I am proud of my degree and have few opportunities to use
formal titles. Which should/can I put on my wedding invitations? Can you help me sort this
out? If so, please email me back.
Thanks in advance,
David ClevelandA. I'm sure you are proud of your many long
years of study, and the title that followed. However, I have done weddings for many
attorneys, both male and female, and none of them has ever used their title on their
wedding invitation, either Doctor or Esquire. That's not to say that you can't do it, for
there truly are no rules (laws) for planning YOUR wedding, but I can only speak to
practice/custom, and have not experienced them to use it. I would
think that if you wanted to use it, it would be appropriate to say David Cleveland, Juris
Doctor.
Sincerely,
Gayle |
