The bride. Not only that, as my fiance and I found while planning our wedding, the brides name is EVERYTHING in planning. They always asked me for all my information…name, address, phone number, alternate phone number, email, etc etc. Groom to be…Your name please? Okay, thanks. My fiance and I made a big joke about it throughout the process. Pretty comical, if you think about it, because by the time I am using all of these vendors (hall, caterer, DJ, cake, etc) my name has changed!

I ask this same question because I was told the man’s name comes first… look on any website and you will see that the woman’s name is always first regardless….

ladys before gentlemen!

it also depends on whos paying if your parents are paying for the wedding then their name goes first. the wording should be something like this:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith request the honour (always the u in honor is proper spelling for an wedding invitation) of your presence to the marriage of their daughter Miss. Jane Doe Smith to the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. John Jon Jones.

if you and your hubby to be is paying for the wedding then it should read something like this:

The honour of your presence is requested at the marriage of Miss. Jane Doe Smith to Mr. John Jon Jones. Thursday the twentyforth of March.

always spell out numbers also. like 3:30pm would be: half past or half after three o’clock in the afternoon.

hope this helps! have fun with it!

I think its the bride's name. But I also think it depends on who's paying for the wedding and the parents situation. If you're including your parents names or not.
