Hey there :)

If you want your invitations to be traditional and formal, then full names are used.

If your wedding is more casual, laid back and modern, then first names only are fine. 

I suppose it depends on how many older people are being invited. They appreciate full names being shown on the invitation & the surnames represent the two families coming together.

That being said, it's your wedding! So do what feels right to you. There are no modern rules about this. It's a personal preference only.

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with me personally.

Cheers,

Generally speaking using full names on the invitation makes it more formal.

I'd say this comes down to personal preference in relation to how formal you want to be or the actual design of the invitation itself.

I will say the majority I do are just the first names. 

Hope that helps!

Thanks
