Wedding Programs

I have a question regarding wedding programs.  I have six bridesmaids and six groomsmen in my wedding.  In our programs, we have the matron of honor and best man listed together.  My question is when we are listing our bridesmaids and groomsmen do we list them in the order that they come down the aisle or how they stand in front of the church?  For example, does the first bridesmaid that is walking down the aisle come first in the programs because she is walking up first or does she go last in the programs because she will be standing farthest from the matron of honor?  I hope this makes sense.  I have asked several different people and they all said different things.  TIA

    I do not think there is right or wrong, but I listed mine in the order they will walk down the aisle.  Really does not matter either way.  I've seen some list them alphabetical.

    I would list them in whichever order makes it consistent.  i.e. if you're listing the MOH first then continue to list them in the order standing closest to you.  if you're listing MOH last then list them in the order they're walking so MOH ends up in the right spot.

    I ordered mine how they're closest to me. I have 4 bridesmaids (including MOH), so:

    MOH
    BM next to MOH
    next BM
    last BM

    I did it this way because it seemed logical when guests who don't know people in the WP are trying to figure out who everyone is. But I've also seen it where they list the names in the order in which people are presented and that can make sense too. In short, I don't know of an etiquette rule on listing in your program? Anyone else?

    Ah PrincessNicky that is a great idea - because then the last person is really the most special, so no one is offended. Love it and gonna use it.

    I know I'm late to the party, but I'd list in order they come down the aisle so that people who don't know them (and care to) could possibly put faces to names.  For instance, my parents don't always know all the names of my friends.
