Wedding Invitation;Why does the bride's name come first? by Toks2008(m): 2:13pm On May 27, 2017
You all know what I'm talking about don't you?...you get a wedding invite and you see the lady's name coming first i:e Titilayo weds Adekunle when it is Kunle that is getting married to the lady even when we all know that it is the guy that woos the lady and proposes.

What will happen if someguy changes that trend and puts his name first? i dont think anyone who comes to the wedding will be so vicious and small-minded as to say nasty things about the order of your names on invitations and favors!

The traditional way is one way of doing things but it isn’t the only way and there’s nothing tacky or crass about doing things differently. Putting the names in a non-traditional order is NOT on par with demanding that guests bring you extravagant gifts, or pay for their own meals or whatever.

Well many people may wonder why I'm asking this funny question but I'm just wandering if there is a logical reason why it is so...is it just the tradition or a trend that people have come to accept?

Over to you all.

Lol fair enough

Don't think I'd be fussed, I'd care about the reason if anything i.e. anything weird like trying to assert his 'dominance' because he's the man therefore should come first type things. Otherwise I'm not bothered

I have also thought of that, and anytime I want to ask such question it keep skipping my mind, I guess this got my attention.

Ever since I was born, it has always been the norm, only 1% out of our normal wedding invitation would you see a grooms name coming before the bride.

For me i guess its cool, its makes the invitation unique, i love it that way.

BTW: Even if the Bride name comes first in the invitation, the woman would still leave her surname and be bearing the husbands name, i guess that's the koko.

And lastly, its not about how wedding invitation is written, its about your relationship life is well arranged and written after the wedding.

Lalasticlala, i guess this piece is front page worthy

Serious joblessness my brother...at least for people like you who work Mondays Through Sundays.

But in case you are wondering...it's called creative writing.

I think its the western culture that has the female name comes first but I read a book by Pastor Bisi Adewale "Before you say I do" and he said the groom's name should come first cause its the man that is getting married to the woman and not the other way round and a friend of mine that recently got married followed suit. I don't really like the groom's name first maybe because I'm used to bride's name first.

Lol! as if I care....let them curse and rant all they can...only the immature nairaland ladies find my deep write ups anoying but the mature ones and those who are intelligent will understand my dogged objectivity.

But what always baffle me is that there is always a cliche of ladies who find my threads very irresistible but would rather rant than make meaningful contributions.

My brother biko leave matter for mathias.
