Hmm I think either your parents or yourself should ask the girl what she prefers. For many, its a life achievement and they want to showcase it as much as possible (not always in a bad way) so she might get offended if you don't put that title on the card. For others, they don't care.

an achievement is an achievement and I think (I may be wrong) but proper etiquette calls for her being called Dr on the card since that's her title. I just think it's weird that it's expected when the Dr is a boy but not when it's a girl. i went to a wedding of a couple recently where the girl is a dr and the boy isn't and they introduced them as "BOY'SNAME and Dr. GIRLSNAME"

I am out of the loop when it comes to Pakistani weddings. I was not aware that if a boy is a doctor, it's expected. If that's the case then it should be the same for the girl.
Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
it's very shallow to mention the title of the bride or the groom on the wedding invitation cards.
we recently got married and we never mentioned our titles [DR] on our invitation cards.

Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
boy i must live on a different planet altogether …
I am a doctor, husband is not … the thought of adding Dr before my name on wedding invites didnt even occur to ANYONE! LOL
To each their own … but personally, i find it very odd to include job related titles on wedding invites and frankly I havnt seen any that do!
it would make more sense if the invitation was for some charity event, or career related event that needed to highlight their distinguished guests/attendees …
my personal belief … those with real achievement generally don’t need to point it out themselves.
Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
**Agree!
Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
dont put doctor on there unless you are a very patient man.

Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
Most people have degrees, like BA or MBa or whatever....you don't see those being put on wedding invitations now do you?
I don't get the need to have Dr. on there. It's a personal event celebrating the union of two people.....shouldn't matter what their professions are.
If the event was a graduation celebration or in some way connected to the profession then fine....
Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
honestly i think it is cheap to put dr there. I've seen such cards and I'm just like umm ok. yes u earned it, it is ur title but COME ON!!! most, if not all guests will know you are a dr. some ppl even put Eng/Engineer XYZ on their fb profiles AND wedding cards. ufff.
Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
Writing Dr. before your name in wedding card is not bad. If you are feeling inferior then don't get marry with her. You will feel same complex whole life.
Doctors are the one who get your call in the middle of night and prescribe and give you medical advise. That person deserves the title in wedding card or any other card, because this title has attached with his or her life and claiming one is not bad.

One could argue that Doctors get paid a pretty penny for taking that call in the middle of the night.
If they were doing it for free then I wouldn't mind if they wore a placard around their neck 24x7.

Have you ever seen cards that say :
Please join us in the marriage of Financial Analyst Abdul Hameed and Future Housewife Saira Rizvi
OR
We would enjoy the pleasure of your company at the marriage ceremony of Subway Owner Rizwan Khan and Doctor Mariam Zahoor
It makes no sense and doesn't look very classy.

Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
My advice to you would be to just ask your fiancé what she prefers and to talk it over with your family. No one else really matters.
Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
My brother is a Dr.
On his wedding he specifically requested his fiancee/family to not use his title. Our wedding cards had just bride/groom names, the cards from her side had Dr.."name", and his other degrees. He was NOT happy. Her family wanted everyone to know she was marrying a "Dr."
My BIL is also a Dr. On my sister's wedding invitation cards, no mention of the word "Dr." on their or our cards.
Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
My husband is a M.D. His title, "Dr." was not on any of our written wedding materials. However, during our reception, we were introduced as "Dr. and Mrs....". The same goes for all of our desi friends who are M.D.s, males and females.
I wanted to add that my FIL is also a retired M.D. and his title was not included in any written wedding materials....but was mentioned when they were introduced during the reception.
I agree that in an arranged situation, the girl/her parents should be asked if they have a preference. However, simply asking them what they're putting in their cards should make it obvious (ie. if they're not including Dr., then boy's side should not include it either and vice versa).

And what if the groom is a judge? Should the invite say ‘honourable judge’
Very confused 
Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
I have seen doctor written on the in laws side of the invitation cards. Doesn’t matter to me. Kind of looks as if they are happy about their new bahu. Guess it doesn’t matter either way.
Re: Larki k name k sath Doctor on card
Yes X a million!
I know, Drs are great and amazing and its hard to be a Dr and all, but career stuff shouldn’t be on cards.
You’d never see "falan dhimkaan, CPA/CFA/MBA/JD etc on an invite…that’s even tackier than no boxed gifts!
FWIW, I went to a wedding where the brides a Dr…that wasn’t on her cards/invites at all.
