We have a bunch of checks (and expect to get more at the wedding) in our married name 'John and Jane Doe'.

FH couldn't deposit them without me on his account, but we wont get a chance to put my married name on his account until after the honeymoon, so how are we supposed to deposit our wedding check??

so stumped!!!

WE had almost all the checks made out like that but DH a& I opened a joint acct when we started wedding planning.

Also if you open a jt account think about TD because they are open on sundays.....we went the day after our wedding so we could go on our HM without tons of $$$ sitting in our apt.

FH and I rcv'd a few checks like that at our Engagement Party- we went to TD a few days later and opened a joined account and explained we're getting married next year, that's why my name is listed like that... they said no problem, we just both had to sign the back.
We love that bank, we haven't had any problems (yet)
