I have an aunt that is a captain of a police department and I am wondering if I use her title when addressing her invitation. Her partner is a retired Navy Commander and I know to use his title but wasn't sure about hers. Thank you for any help.

    FIL is a fire department chief and BIL a lieutenant, but they don't use their titles socially. In fact, BIL would be pretty weirded out if I addressed him as Lieutenant BIL Laughing

    If you are questioning if your aunt prefers to use her title not, addressing her as Captain Aubrey's Aunt is never wrong. You could also just ask her...she is your aunt, after all.

    If you're not having a military wedding, then it is not necessary to use anyone's titles. Actually, I know a lot of people that prefer just a Mr. or Mrs. instead of their actual title in normal social situations (aka non military wedding).

    I don't think it's the same thing as being a doctor. You wouldn't address an invitation to an attorney as John Smith, Esq would you? Same thing applies.

    FI is a police officer (as are many of his friends) and I think they'd all laugh if they got an invite addressed to PO3 Freebread FI.  I'd say don't do it.
