Concerning Salutations

• If the recipient of the greeting card or letter has a professional title, such as Dr. or Professor, it is best to use that title and their last name.
• If the recipient does not have a professional title, it is appropriate to address a male as Mr. and a female as Miss, Mrs. or Ms., depending on her marital status.
• When addressing a couple in a greeting card or letter you would use both Mr. and Mrs. then the husband's first and last name. If the letter or greeting card is not formal it is OK to use just first names inside the card, but use the proper salutation on the envelope.
