Polish term

Drogie Panie

Polish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Drodzy, jak napisać w mailu służbowym, do osób z Firmy ( dwóch Pań na wyższych stanowiskach), podziękowanie za zaproszenie. Chodzi mi jedynie o sam zwrot grzecznościowy, chciałbym napisać Drogie Panie.

Czy Dear Ladies nie będzie za ... frywolne?

Pozdrawiam

Dear Ms XXX and Ms XXX,

In the order that their names appear on the invitation

I wouldn't say that 'Dear Ladies' is frivolous. But I don't think that it's a correct salutation in the context. Unless, perhaps, you know them very, very well. To me, it seems a highly familiar manner of address.

As Polmangmar has pointed out, my suggestion does, indeed, assume that the names of both people are known. If they aren't, then another solution would be needed. But still not, I think, 'Dear Ladies'. More information from the Asker would be needed.
