Traditionally the bride's name goes first.

2007-10-21 04:32:13 · answer #1 · answered by ladybug 3 · 3 0

It's not clear-cut.
Traditionally, the bride's name would go first. I prefer to go by how things sound together, how they fit on the favors, etc. For example, if a man named John and a woman named Ophelia were getting married, I would have "John and Ophelia."
It's really just a matter of personal preference. People will read a variety of things into it (such as, whoever's name is first will lead the relationship), but I would just go with what sounds and looks best to you. Or, mix it up. Put the names one way on the favors, another way on napkins or thank-you's.

on every invitation i have seen , the brides name goes first. so i would think that the brides name goes first on everything else. look up favors and see what they show in the pictures.

The bride's name traditionally goes first on everything. When you order stuff from invite catalogs, they will question you if you change the order around to have the groom's name first.

your question is not very clear.

are you saying when you put the bride and groom's first names on a favor, being given to a guest? the bride's name first, always: Jane & John

if you're doing mr. and mrs., then it's: Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

For wedding favors, and all other printed materials, here are the rules:

If you are writing mr. and mrs. in a formal setting, you write only the man's first name:
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
or you write both first names:
Mr. and Mrs. John and Anne Smith

Now, if you are writing less formal without mr. & mrs.
you have:
Anne & John Smith (woman's name always first)

or only first names:
Anne & John (woman's name always first)

I think its completely up to you two. Ultimately it comes down to who's name sounds better first.

My fiance thinks it should be alphabetical. But he thinks my name sounds nicer in front of his.

I say the womens, because its "ladies first" and a gentleman always keeps the lady on his left side.

There are numerous ways to look at it, it is completely up to you two and what you believe. (If you're keeping track for a tie breaker in a discussion... i say Hers)
