Title order on Invitations

Okay Ladies, I've got a question for you. How do you address the envelope if the wife is a minister and the husband is not? Do you say "Mr. and Rev. Guy's Name" or would it be "Rev. and Mr. Lady's Name?"

I also have a case where the wife is a doctor and the husband is not. So do I right "Mr. and Dr. Guy's Name" or "Dr. and Mr. Lady's Name?"

I could always just say "Mr. and Mrs," but it doesn't seem right to just forget about the wife's title since she earned it but how do you say it?

Thanks!

IMO, lets use the name John Smith. It would be:

Rev & Mrs John Smith or Dr & Mrs John Smith

Askalot, i think she's asking what about when the MRS is the Doctor. This is what I've been told and plan to do:

If one spouse is a doctor, list the person with the professional name first: "Dr. Kate Smith and Mr. John Smith"
