Q & A – Wedding Anniversary Verbiage and Etiquette

QUESTION:

I am hosting my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary, and doing my own invites. 2 questions, 1) whose name goes first my mom’s or my dad’s?? I thought my dad’s but friends have said that they heard “ladies first”. Example, I have Joe and Beryl. 2) Is it implied that it’s a wedding when you say anniversary?? I have 50th wedding anniversary, or should I just put 50th Anniversary. Your help is appreciated.
