Whose Name Goes First?

View Quoted Comment

I may do alphabetical order also, my fiance's name start with an A so that gives us the decision there.

I think addresses are separate from wedding invite names to begin with. Like males name first traditionally for addressing but on your physical invite the bride's name goes first. At least that's what we are doing. It's a return address so it doesn't much bother me but my name will be first on the invite and our wedding website.

Could you post a link to that stamp?? That's adorable!

You're welcome!!

Oh man, I have no idea! Haha. I've heard so many conflicting things about this. We also had a discussion about it when we were addressing invitations to our guests because we weren't sure if it was Jane and John Doe or John and Jane Doe. I've heard you're not supposed to "split up" the man's full name, so that the woman's name goes first. But then I've heard the man's name does go first because... man? Haha.

Ours has been both ways. My name starts with an A and his a W so alphabetically I'd go first. But there have been times it's been reversed. I honestly think whichever sounds best for you

Its supposed to be the bride first then the groom. We did it that way on the invitations, then on the reception cards it has Mr and Mrs his first and last name.

Right! When addressing a couple the male name goes first. I'll speak with FH about whose name we should use first for all of our wedding day essentials.

Typically it's the mens then womans because of tradition, him taking you sort of thing just like you taking his last name but it is all up to you! We like being equal and my family is traditional so may just put my name first for the hell of it haha but I like the way his looks first

I put my name first bc i ordered the stamp and I like the way it sounds better than when his his name is first 😬

Hi! Thanks so much for the insight! My fiance's name also starts with an A so if we chose alphabetically, his name would go first. I may try switching it up on different things.

Hi Keary! I don't know whose name sounds better. I've been trying to say it either way and I've gotten no where, Lol

I put my name first because I am a lady and ladies go first! LOL!

Our invitations were my name then his name. As for return labels I used my name alone as I already had 300 labels I bought and hadn’t used yet

View Quoted Comment Agreed! I’ve spent enough I wasnt going to worry about new address labels until after the wedding for the thank yous 😂
