Whose name goes first on a wedding welcome sign?

Traditionally, some couples put the bride's name first, but that is not a requirement. Many modern couples choose the order that feels natural or matches how they introduce themselves. You might go alphabetically, or put the person whose family is hosting first, or just pick the order that reads well.

If you are having a same-sex wedding, you have the same freedom. Some couples alternate names on different signs, or use both names together without any hierarchy. The important thing is that you both feel happy with the sign.

You can also avoid the issue entirely by using a phrase like "The wedding of Alex and Sam" or "Together with their families, Alex and Sam invite you." That way, neither name takes priority.

Whatever you choose, make sure the names are spelled correctly and are easy to read. The welcome sign is one of the first things guests see, so it should reflect your style as a couple.
