Made in Excel -

I over-analyzed how to word my husband's (J) and my (M) name on invitations and was interested to see which order our guests preferred... ("J&M" or "M&J")

The counts above are how guests wrote our names on the cards we received.

At first glance it looked like "M&J" was more common, but when divided by who the guest was related to, found that folks used that name first. (J's Guests used "J&M"; M's Guests used "M&J").

Edit: Wording to clarify

OP has a lot more friends and family than her husband does.

LOL. I thought the same thing, but this was just physical cards at the event itself.

A short introduction to how personal preferences/biases can influence future actions.

I adore this. Thank you for sharing!

Out of curiosity, does M&J or J&M sound better to your ear? What does your husband prefer?

After a heated debate we determined that we both prefer J&M 😂 thank you for asking!

I'm sure I'll be downvoted for this, but would it be unfair to assume some unconscious bias towards your husband based on gender?

I was wondering the same thing!

This is an interesting look at how things like affiliations and gender biases can affect something so simple.

Great analysis.
