Dream Wedding?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p data-start=\"208\" data-end=\"568\">Creating wedding invitations isn\u2019t as simple as it may seem. Beyond the creative details, there are etiquette rules to follow, especially regarding the content and the correct order of names. Your wedding invitation is the first glimpse guests get of your big day\u2014it sets the tone, reveals the style, and builds anticipation. Here\u2019s how to get it just right.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"570\" data-end=\"615\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Significance_of_Wedding_Invitations\"><\/span>The Significance of Wedding Invitations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"1004\">Wedding invitations are more than just informative\u2014they\u2019re part of your wedding aesthetic. These beautifully crafted cards are often the stars of flat-lay photography (styled overhead shots) and contain not just logistical details but also meaningful phrases and artistic touches. Most importantly, they serve as the first official announcement of your wedding theme and color palette.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1158\">So, how do you structure your invitation properly? Let&#8217;s explore the different ways to format the announcement, from traditional to modern approaches.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1190\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Parents_Announcement\"><\/span>The Parents\u2019 Announcement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1461\">Traditionally, wedding invitations were issued by the parents, as they played a central role in organizing the event. This format is now less common, as couples today take full control of their wedding plans. However, it remains an elegant choice for formal weddings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1677\">In this format, the bride\u2019s parents are listed on the left, and the groom\u2019s on the right, following the tradition that the bride\u2019s father \u201cgives away\u201d his daughter. However, this structure may not be suitable if:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1827\">\n<li data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1730\">The parents are divorced and not on good terms.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1731\" data-end=\"1772\">One of the spouses has lost a parent.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1773\" data-end=\"1827\">The couple has been living together for some time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1829\" data-end=\"1927\">For highly formal ceremonies, though, this traditional structure still holds charm and prestige.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"1971\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Formal_Announcement_by_the_Couple\"><\/span>The Formal Announcement by the Couple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1973\" data-end=\"2354\">In modern weddings, it\u2019s common for the couple themselves to make the announcement, symbolizing independence and equality. There are no strict rules here: you can place either name on the left or right, though conventionally, the groom\u2019s name appears on the right and the bride\u2019s on the left. However, as a gesture of gallantry or personal preference, this order can be reversed.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2356\" data-end=\"2394\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Informal_Wedding_Announcement\"><\/span>The Informal Wedding Announcement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2396\" data-end=\"2535\">If you\u2019re planning a relaxed, unconventional wedding, your invitation can take on a playful tone. Some fun phrases to start with include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2537\" data-end=\"2665\">\n<li data-start=\"2537\" data-end=\"2573\"><em data-start=\"2539\" data-end=\"2571\">We\u2019re finally getting married!<\/em><\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2574\" data-end=\"2608\"><em data-start=\"2576\" data-end=\"2606\">Join us for our special day!<\/em><\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2665\"><em data-start=\"2611\" data-end=\"2663\">Save the date\u2014we can\u2019t wait to celebrate with you!<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2667\" data-end=\"2767\">This style puts the couple at the heart of the announcement, making it more personal and engaging.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2769\" data-end=\"2808\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Announcing_the_Wedding_as_a_Family\"><\/span>Announcing the Wedding as a Family<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2810\" data-end=\"3084\">For couples who already have children, incorporating them into the wedding invitation adds warmth and significance. Instead of a traditional structure, the announcement can be made in the voices of your children, reflecting the importance of family in this special moment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3086\" data-end=\"3225\">This approach is especially meaningful when children from previous relationships are involved, as it makes them feel included and valued.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3227\" data-end=\"3283\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wedding_Invitations_vs_Wedding_Participation_Cards\"><\/span>Wedding Invitations vs. Wedding Participation Cards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3285\" data-end=\"3505\">Etiquette suggests that the number of wedding invitations should match the number of participation cards, but in reality, this is rarely the case. The key difference lies in the text rather than the structure of names.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3507\" data-end=\"3671\">To simplify the printing process, consider designing a single layout for both and adding a separate insert with banquet details. This additional card can include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3673\" data-end=\"3843\">\n<li data-start=\"3673\" data-end=\"3696\">The couple\u2019s names.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3697\" data-end=\"3754\">A short formal or casual invitation to the reception.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3755\" data-end=\"3843\">A dress code suggestion, such as <strong data-start=\"3790\" data-end=\"3808\">elegant attire<\/strong> for a sophisticated celebration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-start=\"3845\" data-end=\"3888\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_the_Final_Touch_Thank_You_Tags\"><\/span>Adding the Final Touch: Thank You Tags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3890\" data-end=\"4177\">Even your thank-you tags\u2014those charming little notes attached to wedding favors or confetti bags\u2014should reflect your personal style. While tradition dictates that the groom\u2019s name comes first, modern weddings often reverse this, whether for gallantry, feminism, or personal preference.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4179\" data-end=\"4218\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_Plan_Your_Dream_Wedding\"><\/span>Ready to Plan Your Dream Wedding?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4220\" data-end=\"4749\">From <strong data-start=\"4225\" data-end=\"4353\"><a href=\"https:\/\/princessapulia.com\/blog\/the-dress-of-the-men-sent-what-style-rules-to-follow\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"4227\" data-end=\"4351\">choosing the perfect groom\u2019s attire<\/a><\/strong> to planning a romantic <strong data-start=\"4377\" data-end=\"4444\"><a href=\"https:\/\/princessapulia.com\/elope-venice\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"4379\" data-end=\"4442\">elopement in Venice<\/a><\/strong>, your wedding should reflect your love story in every detail.

In addition to the creative details, there are rules of etiquette regarding the content and correct order of your names. Here are a few pointers on how not to get it wrong.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Wedding invitations are extremely important: they are the first creative and decorative details; they are often the protagonists of a flat lay style shoot (photo from top); they contain <a href=\"https:\/\/princessapulia.com\/16-phrases-of-love-for-your-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wedding phrases<\/a> and important information for the ceremony but above all, they are the first means by which the bride and groom announce the style and colors of the wedding. So let's see how to compose the structure of the announcement by understanding the exact order of your names to appear in it.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>The parents' announcement<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>As tradition and etiquette dictate. The parents' announcement is one of those choices that have fallen into disuse with time and fashion. While parents used to play a major role in the organization and management of weddings, nowadays the bride and groom are increasingly independent and far removed from the archaic concepts of 'dowry' and 'consent'. However, this type of formula cannot be used when: the parents are separated, especially if there is bad blood between the ex-spouses; one of the future spouses has no father or mother; the spouses have already lived together.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>In any case, in extremely formal ceremonies, the wedding announcement in the wedding invitations starts with the couple's parents, with the bride's name written on the left and the groom's on the right, as it is the bride's father who gives the groom his daughter's hand in marriage.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>Wedding invitations : The formal announcement of the bride and groom<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>The formula commonly used is for the bride and groom to announce themselves directly as a sign of independence, responsibility, and conviction. In these modern formulas, in fact, there is no father who gives his daughter in marriage, but both spouses are on an equal footing. Unlike the previous case, there are no precise rules here, so you can choose to have her or his name appear on the right or left as you please. His name tends to appear on the right and hers on the left, but for reasons of gallantry, the opposite is also allowed.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>The informal announcement of the bride and groom<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>If you have already spent some time together or if you have simply chosen to celebrate your wedding in an extremely easy and informal ceremony, the announcement can come to life starting with funny wedding phrases. You can structure the invitation to have your names on the front page and then find the phrases \"We are getting married\" \"We look forward to seeing you at our wedding!?\" \"We are finally getting married\". In this case, it's the couple at the center of everything.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>Announcing the children<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Getting married when you are already a family is not just a matter of choosing the perfect wedding dress for the little girl or the best pageboy. If you already have children in common, the ideal announcement is made by your children. With this formula, the wedding is no longer a couple's event, but the family itself is the focus of attention. The announcement structured in this way becomes even more important when it is made by the children from a previous relationship because it makes them feel involved, loved, and present in every decision of this new extended family.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>The announcement in wedding invitations and participations<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Although etiquette dictates that the number of invitations should be substantially the same as the number of invitations, in reality, this rarely happens. The main difference between invitations and invitations is therefore only in the content of the text, not in the structure of the names. To make your job easier at the printers, you could create a single layout to be used in both cases and insert the card with the banquet instructions in a separate card where, without any kind of formal announcement, you could write your names with the classic wording inviting guests to take part in the celebrations, specifying, if you prefer, a specific dress code for elegant ceremony dresses.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Even on the thank, you tags commonly used to accompany the confetti or wedding favors, it is a good idea to include your names and an accompanying phrase or the simple word \"Thank you\". In this case, tradition dictates that after the ceremony the groom should become the head of the family and his name should precede the bride's name, but the rules are usually broken in less formal ceremonies where it is the woman's name that comes first, as a matter of feminism or gallantry.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"#daa520\"}}} -->\r\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#daa520\"><a href=\"https:\/\/princessapulia.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">C<strong>ontact us for your dream wedding<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-weddings-tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.5 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How should the order of names in wedding invitations be?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn the essential etiquette for creating beautiful wedding invitations.
