  In terms of monograms, it would be your first name initial, the shared last initial and then the groom's first name initial.
  
  So in general, I'd say the woman's name does come first.

  I always thought of that as more of a common thing than a rule. I personally prefer to put my fiance's name first on everything because I sort of view it as a sign of respect.

  
  

  I could be wrong but I feel like the only reason the girl's name is usually put first is because it is traditionally the bride's family that pays and the wedding is usually considered to be the brides day - and the groom is just an accessory (a saying which I've always disliked).

  I honestly didn't mind my FI's name first but I did some research online and while it's not a set in stone tradition, it definitely seems to be more often the girl's name first. 
  Luckily, I still had time to change everything that I've had the initials on.
  
  Thanks!!
