Save the date! Whose name goes first??

Nat, on May 21, 2018 at 3:03 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11
This is the photo we are using on our save the date, but whose name goes first ? I thought the bride goes first but my parents are adamant that it's the groom that is always first ? He is on the left side of the picture.. So would it look weird if it wss my name where he is in the picture? Haha

    It doesn't really matter.

    I've always heard women is first until married, then husbands name comes first. I wouldn't overthink it.

    I always heard it was womans name first until you're married, then its the mans name first. Honestly, it doesn't matter. Ours said "Jamie and Kyle" and on our wedding invites, my name will come first as well.

    The woman’s name goes first. I think it’s fine that your name will be above his picture lol

    I don't think it matters, but you could also flip the photo around so your name is first and you're the one on the left.

    There is formal etiquette for invitations, but things are a lot more relaxed when it comes to Save The Dates. I think you can arrange the names whichever way you think is best. That's a beautiful pictures BTW!

    I don't know if it matters, I certainly wouldn't think anything of it being either way. Mine is first on everything just because that's how it was on the template (I used Shutterfly and Zazzle).

    Love your save the date picture! I wouldn't think too much about what you're supposed to do, but I'd probably put them in the order you are standing bc it might be weird for your name to be on top of his head and vice versa lol

    I think you should do whatever you like best! I’ve always seen the woman’s name first on STDs and invites. Our STD has my name first and so will our invitations. That picture is super cute!!
