    Is there a specific order that bride and groom's names should be listed? I thought I heard somewhere that until you are married the bride's name is first (save the dates, invites, web site) then on the materials after you are married (cocktail napkins, favors, guest book, etc.) it's the groom's first.

    Any insights? Also, what's the order for a monogram after you are married?

    Thanks!

    I agree that the Bride's name goes first. I have seen monograms mostly with the ladies' initial first.

    i had this same question! everyone knows us on a "groom's name - bride's name" basis, and it sounds weird the other way around.

    My FI says alphabetical. Which means in my case: BRIDE! :)
