The brides name usually goes first before the wedding, like on the invitations it would be the brides name followed by the grooms. However, after you are married, the husbands name is usually first, such as Mr. & Mrs.
For example it should read: Mr. & Mrs. James Smith This indicates and respects the couple are finally married.

The Brides. The Brides name goes first on everything
I don't know why but it is the Bride's name. This is not a steadfast rule. It's you wedding and you can do what you want.

The bride's name goes first. If you put a monogram on a napkin then her initial goes first, groom's last name initial and then his first name initial. You can flip the initials if it spells something you don't like.
Usually it is the Groom which leads, however, I have seen many cases where the Bride leads too. It depends on community to community and the places.
A bride's name should be listed first in the invitation and then the groom's name. This is customary. Her parents names may or may not be used depending on what they prefer.
Ring finger on the left hand. Wedding band goes on first, Engagment ring goes on second.
* The groom's first initial goes first on a monogram after the wedding. If this is to send to guests it should be 'Mr. & Mrs. John Doe.
Traditionally, the bride's last name goes on announcements and event marquees first. This convention began because the bride's parents typically paid for weddings in the past. Even though this isn't always the case now, the tradition has remained.
It does not matter.
It's always upon you and the design of the Engagement Ring and the Wedding Band. But I think that you should wear the wedding ring/band first and after that Engagement Ring because Wedding is more special day in your life and it will always stay closer to your heart.
Wedding ring first, engagement ring next, eternity ring last.
