Etiquette dictates that the spouse with the professional title is listed first. If the woman is a doctor, but her husband is not, write: Dr. Lucy Wallford and Mr. Christopher Wallford, or, if they have different last names, Dr. Lucy Jones and Mr. Christopher Wallford. If the husband is a doctor, the proper way to address it is: Dr. and Mrs. Christopher Wallford or Dr. Christopher Wallford and Mrs. Lucy Jones. If both are doctors, it should be addressed to The Doctors Wallford or Dr. Christopher Wallford and Dr. Lucy Jones.

The inside envelope would read The Wallfords if they share a last name, and Christopher Wallford and Lucy Jones if they do not Mr. John Smith & Dr. Joan Smith

The man usually comes first. I just sent a card to my dentist and his wife and addressed it to Dr. & Mrs. John Smith. To put the female doctor first is inappropriate. Well, being that this is not a medical issue, you can safely address them as Mr. & Mrs. They are husband & wife before they are doctor and husband. Look in the phone book to see how they have themselves listed in it. Dr. is a designation to address orally and in medical issues. If you have heard let people know that she would always prefer to be addressed as doctor, do so out of courtesy, but its not necessary other wise.
