Answer 2

Mr and Mrs John Doe formal

John and Jane Doe informal

However people switch it up nowadays just for womens lib or whatever. I like to sometimes put the womans name first just so every once in awhile their name is first on a card I send them but those are like family holiday cards etc. I would put the formal version on a wedding invite unless they were dating and then you put, for some reason ,her name first and then his.

Answer 4

Yes Mr and Mrs or Dr and Mrs or The honorable and Mrs ( in case you are inviting a judge) all this is in etiquette book. I heard though just to be specific about your question that the woman s name is first since one should not disconnect the man s first and last names. But it is irrelevant in formal invitations since you do not list the womans name. IF they are unmarried and living together you simply send each a separate invitation

Answer 6

Formal or not, you can print your invitations any way you like as long as the recipients can identify themselves in the content. All the rest is simply a matter of taste (whether your taste or the author of some wedding etiquette book).

Besides, if someone is offended by the manner in which you print their names on a WEDDING INVITATION for YOUR WEDDING...

Then maybe they should stay home anyway.

It is your day, and while I'm sure you want it to be perfect...

just like your spouse-to-be, it need not be perfect, just be perfect for YOU.

P.S.: Congratulations, and good luck! :-)

Answer 7

If they're married, then it goes "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" (formal) or John and Mary Smith (informal). If they're living together, then each goes on a separate line, and the woman goes first.

Answer 10

I was told to never seperate a man from his last name. You should put the woman's name first. Ex: Alicia and Matthew White.
