We are having a relativly informal wedding, so I am writing first names. As in: John and Jane Doe. I don't like the idea of addressing something with only the man's name, but that is another subject all together...
we listed the male first, even though etiquette says to list the woman first. i suppose it depends on the culture, but i would have been fine listing either way.
For our save the dates, anyone sharing a last name were Jane and John Doe, but for the invites we're going with Miss Cream Puff's fabulous suggestion.
I'm taking my FI's last name, but I REFUSE to think of my future married self as Mrs. HisFirst OurLast and will not refer to other people that way either. As for listing the woman's name first, it's fine to mix it up. Etiquette states that the woman's name goes first, but if the male is your primary invitee, that makes more sense to me. Of course, in going with Miss Cream Puff style wording, I've already broken with etiquette, so perhaps there's no hope for me.
on the name labels, are you putting
Mr. & Mrs. John Doe
or
Mrs. & Mrs. Doe
im not sure how to do it

But if my only options are the two above I like Mr. & Mrs. John Doe.
