The easiest way to let guests know that formal attire (or whatever dress code you are using) should be worn is to include this in the lower right-hand corner of the invitationor on a reception card; "black-tie," "black-tie optional," "semi-formal," "cocktail attire" or "casual attire" are all acceptable. Your invitation design will also clue guests in. An ultra-formal, traditional invite with letterpress and calligraphy will give guests a hint to the formal nature of the event, whereas a square invite with a playful font and bright colors would fit a much more casual style. Another way is to direct guests to your wedding website, where you can go into more detail about the weekend events and dress code in a more informal forum.
Which one do you include? "black-tie" means the men will wear tuxedos and the women will wear long, formal gowns; "black-tie optional" is the same as black-tie, except that a dark suit with a white shirt and conservative tie may be substituted for the tuxedo; "cocktail attire" means the men should be dressed in suits and ties or slacks with jackets and ties while the ladies are dressed in cocktail dresses or little black dresses; "semi-formal" is almost the same as cocktail attire, except that the ladies may attire themselves in long dressy skirts with tops or in dressy separates, as well; "casual attire" tells your male guests to wear their best khakis or blue jeans, Bermuda shorts, shirts with sleeves, sweaters, and casual shoes; and your female guests to wear their finest sundress, skirt, shorts, shirts or blouses with sleeves, and casual shoes.

Yes, when addressing a formal invitation, it's best to write out "Doctor" in full, rather than abbreviating it to "Dr." This shows respect for the individual's professional title and maintains the formality of the invitation. Additionally, using the full title can help avoid any potential confusion, especially if the recipient holds multiple titles or degrees.
