Escort Card Etiquette
Can someone confirm the basic etiquette for Escort cards for me? I tried to search this topic but didn't find much.
Do you use formal titles?
For an unmarried couple do you put the female or male first? Does this change depending on who was the invited Guest and who is brought as a Guest?
Re: Escort Card Etiquette
I think technically you're supposed to put women first (I'm assuming you're asking about a couple where they have different last names), but I think we will probably put the person we're closer to first, which is how we addressed our invitations.

You can either do individual escort cards or put people with their dates/significant other on the same card. I couldn't fit everything onto one card, so I did everyone's separately. If you do put people on the same card, ladies should go first. (Of course, if you're doing titles, then it'd be Mr. and Mrs. John Doe, but it'd be Ms. Jane Smith and Mr. John Doe if the lady kept her maiden name.)
I read that you put whoever is your closer friend first. So if Jane Doe and John Ex are dating and coming to my wedding together, but Jane Doe is my friend and John Ex is just her BF, then you put Jane first.
