Huh... I've always done my introductions... "Welcome Mr and Mrs John and Jessika Snickerdoodle...."

In my area atleast the man is always introduced first as he is considered the head of household... I know that sounds sexist but, that is how it is... So, putting the grooms name first on a monogram would be the way I'd do it too unless requested otherwise.

Very true Rob, and you're correct in introducing the male first because in a proper formal introduction, the male is first then the female. However, when you're talking about a wedding, the literature (programs, invitations, etc) the bride is listed first. It's just one of those fun little quirks about formalities.

Traditionally, it was the bride's parents who paid for the wedding. While that's not always the case now, it's the reason why the bride's name generally comes first.

Think of this from the bride's parents' perspective: Do they notice that their daughter's name is second when it's projected in light on their wedding day? If they paid for the wedding, they probably do notice, and if they're put off by it, they'll never tell you (but they also won't recommend you to their friends).

(I still love the designs, by the way).
 
I've heard the bride's name is used first (for invitations, etc) ....But after she is married, she is now Mrs.___ (Don't mean to sound sexist) but it's Mr. & Mrs.________
 
JokersWild,

I'm trying to put the monogram effect in use for a wedding I'm DJ'ng Memorial Day weekend. Tried searching for your Dell 4100 projector. Looks like it might be an older model. What specs would you suggest for one?
 
2000+ lumens, 720p and long-throw. I have a short-throw projector (only needs a few feet to project a 6'-8' image), but won't work well in throwing a monogram on a dance floor. Need 2000 lumens to get it bright enough and the 720p resolution (1280x720) is sufficient for most things
