Bride and Groom Lines
The name of the bride always precedes the groom's name. Formal invitations issued by the bride's parents refer to her by her first and middle names, the groom by his full name and title; if the couple is hosting by themselves, their titles are optional.
Which name goes first husband or wife?
Both husband and wife use their first names, with the wife's name listed first and the husband's second. It helps to remember the old Southern rule of always keeping the man's first and last name together. And, of course, last names are always written.
Does the bride or grooms name go first on napkins?
In cases where the surname and first name is included on the favors, etiquette requires the bride's name is printed before the groom's name.
