Maiden / Married name

I know most of the brides are first time brides, but your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

I am making up my STD's and I have a small dillema. This is my second wedding. I kept my married name so this way I would have the same last name as my daughter.

My question is, on both my STD's and invitations, do I use my married name, the one people know me by now, my maiden name (hopefully the people who don't know my maiden name would be able to figure it out!! LOL) or should I hyphenate??

TIA! You girls are the best!!

I think you should either keep your married name or hypenate.

one question what do u plan on doing after the wedding. are u taking your fh's new last name and having a different one from your daughter?

My FH and I are still back and forth on this one. We plan on having a child too, so no matter what I decide, one of my children will have a different last name as me. It totally stinks!!!
