how to address labels when you have two names

[Guest]

What is the correct way of addressing labels when you have two full names
that are different and need to be on the same envelope?

example Dr. James Smith & Linda Jones or is it
Dr. James Smith
Linda Jones
111 E 14th Street

I think either would be correct, and you might base your decision based on
the size of the label and the space available. My preference, though, would
be for using a courtesy title for Ms. Jones as well.

Gack! Fine if you're shooting for a bulk mail discount. The opposite end of
the spectrum is addressing wedding invitations. Personal business mail falls
somewhere in between.
