Mind Your Manners Best What Would You Do guidance
A concise etiquette guide answers five questions about respectful introductions and address forms. It states: present all women first in group introductions, avoid saying Glad to know you as a formal acknowledgment, do not use Mrs. Dr. Smith for a doctor’s wife, address a servant with Mr. or Mrs. as appropriate, and use first names with spouses in casual speech. The recommended solution is to introduce her first to all, then the men.
