Inner envelope question

I'd like to start working on addressing my inner envelopes and I have a question about whether the man or woman's name goes first.

My FI and I decided to be informal on the inner envelopes (i.e. 'Aunt Jane and Uncle Bob' i/o 'Mr. & Mrs. Robert Smith') because it is more personal that way. I am going to print the outer envelopes on the computer and I'm going to handwrite the inner envelopes, in pretty script with a gold calligraphy pen.

Whose name should go first? It seems unnatural one way or the other in some cases. TIA!

Re: Inner envelope question

I think if you are making your own rules (which is cool) you should do what feels right to you. If there is a woman you are closer to then put her first and vice versa. I think it is a nice touch actually.
