    When stating you and your FI name how did you do it? I have seen 2 option so far and I dont know which one to pick. I asked my mom and she didn't know either so any help would be appreciated :D

     

    option 1:

    HoneyBear Middlename Lastname

    to

    Mr.Honeybear Middle Lastname

     

    or

     

    option 2:

    Honeybear Middlename

    to

    Mr.Honeybear Middlename Lastname

    If your parents names are listed BEFORE your names, then you technically do not have to do Option 1, since it's given that you and your FI share the same names as each respestive parental unit.

    However, we didn't do that because FI doesn't have a middle name and I have a ridiculously long first and middle name so it would be:

    Mylongfirst name Mylongmiddlename

    to

    FI (one syllable)

    It looked lopsided, so although our parents names are listed before ours in the invitations, both of our full names are listed on the invite.

    so option two has a last name for him, but not for you?  i find that weid.  we did both our first and last names.  i didn't put middle names because i dont generally use mine and same with DH, he has two that he doesnt use.

    so we did:

    myfirstname mylastname

    to

    hisfirstname hislastname

    we didn't have our parents on there.

    We're hosting, so no mention of parents. We did

    Myfirst Middle Last

    &

    Hisfirst Middle Last

    invite you etc. etc.
