on their name being listed...i.e. bride's name first & groom's name second. Does it matter, personal preference? I see people do it both ways.

Like are your files labeled with the bride's name first then the grooms? When you post sneak peeks of the b/g do you label the title with the bride's name first then the grooms?

I'm sitting here editing & the thought just popped in my mind I thought...hmmm..wonder what other people do!

I always put in the brides name then grooms name then last name. That way if she didn't change it and didn't tell me, I didn't technically get it wrong! She IS heather and he IS Mike ______. She's just not heather ______. lol

It's always read better to me because I learn the groom's name with his last name like Joe Smith so it always "feels" right to put Joe next to Smith in that equation. Heather & Joe Smith. Joe Smith is a guy I know - right? Joe & Heather Smith - well now, who knows Heather Smith? I only know Heather Jones. So that's weird.

(Yes I just overly complicated a very simple thing. Sorry)

I have always put the woman's name first. That is what Emily Post says to do.

umm... i was always taught it is mr. and mrs. bill smith. or bill and jane smith.

Yeah... I always put bride's name first.

Even if you know the groom a little better than the bride, you're more likely to say, "we're fixin' to head on over to Heather's wedding" than "...John's wedding" (IMHO)

Yup, bride's name first.... "Etiquette" says that the man's first name shouldn't be separated from his last name (so Joe is always stuck next to Smith)....and "ladies first"

So... Jane and John Doe or Mr. and Mrs. John Doe...

Ladies first.

Thank you all sooo much for your responses! I see the light ;-)
