To put my name first on present labels?

[mumwithatum]

I buy and wrap all of the gifts for both hub's and my family. I have a large family, his is quite small. When I write labels for my family I start with from me, then him then 3 kids in age order. When it's for his family I write him, me then three kids in age order as an easy way to differentiate between Dad and and Mum presents for his parents and because it's his family.
Yesterday I wrote his dads label and because I was so used to following his name with my kids I ended up writing my name at the end. I laughed and mentioned this to hubs who told me that really his name should always be first as that is the tradition... eg Mr and Mrs.
I told him that it wasn't happening, that it was outdated and that he wasn't more important than me, and that as I did all the work I got the first credit. (This was all said in jest between us).
I then wrote the labels on the kids present from us and realised that I always put mum then dad.
Although I prob won't change my labelling method as it works, it did make me wonder how others might perceive it. So, what do you guys think? AIBU? And what do you guys do?

Hubs 😬

I always do my name first for my family, dp name first for his. He does the same when he wraps.
It's also the easiest way for me to remember who's present I'm picking from under the tree for my mum or his mum if there are 2 with 'mum's labels.

Never given it any thought

at hubs but apart from that I’d have a rule of writing the tags however you like, and he writes his however he would like. (Ur tagz ur rulez bbz)

I always put my DH's name first, as his first name is my maiden surname so if I put my name followed by his name it can kind of look like I'm saying from my full (maiden) name

Haha, so to make it look easier, I say his name then my name.

Other than that, I would do his name first for his family, and my name first for my family!

Hubs

If I am writing the labels I put me first, whoever it is for. Because I’m writing it. I would find it weird to get something in someone’s handwriting that doesn’t have their name first! DH would write the labels to his family though.

I do as you do, if it's for my family I write my name first. For his family his name first.

For ds I write from mum and dad. If DH was bothered I'm sure he would have done the wrapping instead.

Well “Mum & Dad” scans better than “Dad & Mum” so I always put that. Our names when put together scan better with his first... think “George & Mildred” vs “Mildred & George” so I always put his name first...followed where necessary by the DCs in age order.

Alphabetical surely 😉 coincidentally that’s me first , both children then dh last...

Stopped reading at 'hub's'

If im writing, my name is first. If he is, he’s welcome to do whatever he wants.

His family his name first, my family my name first, and for people we both know, my name first because I'm writing the card/ label

I do a mix of both depending who the receipient is for both presents and cards. If it’s for one of DH’s relatives or friends from his circle I put his name first. If it’s from my side I put my name first. If it’s for others ( like neighbours or people we know equally well) I put his name first because that’s tradition. DH couldn’t care less where his name goes.

I put DH first if writing. He puts me first. Because it’s polite.

I laughed and mentioned this to hubs who told me that really his name should always be first as that is the tradition...

I don’t think the protocol for invitations to Buckingham Palace Garden parties etc applies to Christmas presents! I think it’s quite reasonable that the name of the person who has bought and wrapped the gift goes first.

For cards and presents I always go Dh, Me then our daughters in age order. I always think it looks weird to see the woman's name first, just a traditional thing in my mind

I put the related family member. So for my family, my name first and for his family, his name first.

I've noticed that people tend to refer to a couple as the person they knew first, first. Same as how you would call children in age order usually

I put my name first on presents for my family, and his name first on presents for his.

If he’s doing it, he always writes his name first out of habit / lack of thought. But then he also wrote our first names on a couple of the dc’s presents this year because he was on auto-pilot.

I do the same as you his family him first mine me first it's just an easy way to make it work.

Kids I do mum and dad coz everyone says mum and dad not dad and mum that would sound wrong.

I use the exact same method as you I would also write from mum and dad just because I think it flows better!!

Sorry, pressed send too early! If I'm wrapping and writing the tag, I put my name first. My husband would rather I put his name first on his families and he puts my name first on my families

I always thought it was etiquette to put the female's name first so have always done so. No idea if I've imagined this

I always write DH name first as it sounds better 😂it sounds odd if my name is first , it doesn’t seem to roll . So I’m no help sorry

I do the same.
