Bride or Groom's name first?

By smoke

I'm having a little bet with a friend of mine who is getting married soon, about her wedding invitation card. She has sent me a sample of her card however she has put the Grooms name first and then the Bride's name. I've googled this and found that, well i wont say ALL but most of the invites that i've seen has the Bride's name first and then the Groom. Its a love marriage and not arranged if that matters in the subject. I still feel the bride's name comes first. what do you think...hurry i need to win the freaking 1 riyal bet!

It is the grooms name because it will be the family name of the groom that she will be using when they become couples.

The bride's invitation card will have her name first...and groom's card will have his name first...

Hmm again depends on the culture of the bride and groom.

As Bride becomes before the Groom then I would prefer the Bride's name first, just my preference..

It should come from the Brides parents and read something like...........Mr & Mrs #### would like you to attend the wedding of their Daughter ##### Etc etc. IMHO

Well what if BOTH are sending out the invites then what? Its not like the groom is the one or the parents are the one's, both bride and groom are sending out the invitation.

Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

Surely it depends on which party is sending the card..

If its from the Bride's side, then her name comes first..
