Wedding Program/Order of Attendants

When listing groomsmen and bridesmaids, is it in the order they walk down the aisle or alphabetical?

Re: Wedding Program/Order of Attendants

  • The should be listed in the order in which they walk down the aisle so the guests will know who is who.
  • I don't think there's a right or wrong way. That said, I did what Missy mentioned, for the reason she mentioned.
  • Personally, as a guest, if I don't know them, I'd prefer that they be listed in the order that they come down the aisle, or the reverse - the order in which they stand.  If I don't know who they are, putting them in alphabetical order isn't going to help me, unless they're wearing name tags too.  :)

    Dresses may be easier to take in than let out, but guest lists are not. -- kate51485
  • When I was designing our programs, someone posted this on TK and I had to go back and change everyone's name so they were in the order in which they would process in. Luckily we hadn't printed them yet.
  • I personally like weight order. Skinniest to fattest.
