Formal Introductions of Bride and Groom

Jolie, on September 25, 2019 at 9:06 AM Posted in Planning 0 13

I am working on my DJ questionnaire and it asks how we would like to formally be introduced into the reception. Is this pretty universal or up to whatever we want? I said Mr & Mrs Last name but FH says it's Mr & Mrs his First and Last name. What have you seen before or what are you doing? After the formality one we will just be addressed as bride and groom throughout the night!

    I've heard of both Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Mr. & Mrs. John Smith. You could even have it as Mr. & Mrs. John and Jane Smith. All just preference and totally up to you and your FH Smiley smile

    Personally I think I'd prefer Mr. & Mrs. John Smith, but I'll have to see what my FH thinks!

    I personally do not like hearing Mrs. his entire name. It feels like a loss of identity to me. Of course it's up to the two of you, not all of us.

    It’s up to your preference. Mr. and Mrs. John Smith is definitely traditional, but I’m all about representing both halves of a couple equally. I would say Mr. and Mrs. Smith or Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith.

    I agree with a PP that Mr & Mrs (his first and last name) seems too old fashioned where the woman’s whole identity was in being a wife to her husband. But I think Mr and Mrs Last Name is cute or Mr & Mrs (both of their first names and last name) is my favorite of the choices. I say pick what sounds best to your ears, no matter what any of us say.
    I’m not changing my last name so ours will be Mr (his first and last name) and Mrs (my first and last name).

    As PP stated, it’s up to you as there’s no hard and fast rule about this. I am doing Mr. HIS FIRST LAST NAME and Mrs MY FIRST NAME FAMILY NAME (hate maiden name) HIS NAME as my last name is my connection to my family and my daughter.

    Technically your FH is correct. However, you can do Mr and Mrs Smith or John and Jane Smith - Mr and Mrs John and Jane Smith is not grammatical - though it is used quite a bit, and there's nothing wrong with it (outside of the grammar issue, and in spoken English these conventions are often disregarded anyway).

    This is what we're doing because I'm not fully changing my name (I'm double-barrelling.) Love it!

    Yeah it's funny because on invites I didn't care and said I was doing the super traditional way but then when he said the traditional way to me about being announced I was like nooo I don't like it. Lol I am such a contradiction. I think I prefer Mr and Mrs last name or Mr and Mrs his name, my name, last name the best. So I will see what he says Smiley winking

    Haha isn’t funny how some things you don’t care and other things it makes a difference to you? Or like just hearing it out loud too haha. I would just say them out loud or have someone else say it the way you want the DJ to do it and see which both of you like better. There is something simple and nice about Mr and Mrs Last Name, but I really love saying both first names because it’s recognizing you as individuals with your first name, but then the same last name unifies you.

    It’s totally up to you and there is no wrong way to do it. Some people choose to change their last name, some decide to keep their maiden name. It doesn’t matter what anyone else’s opinion is of that because that is a decision for you and your fiancé. Your DJ is asking because he doesn’t want to screw it up. To me, that’s a sign you choose a good DJ.
