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!!

Re: Married / Maiden Name
I think I would you your married name..thats what everyone knows you by... so if everyone knows you as Laura a and then your rsvps and what not say laura b people might get confused

Re: Married / Maiden Name
Maybe you can just not use last names? Most STD's don't have last names

That seems to be what most are saying. It just seemed weird, you know?

I agree. Using just your first names would work. That's what we did.

Thanks girls for the advice. I think I am going to just use my name I have now. You're right, that's the name everyone knows me by.
Thanks again!!!

We eloped two years ago but had NO ONE at our wedding....so we are treating this like our first wedding, since we both have the same last name now, we aren't using it on the STD

I would probably use your married name since you have used it for so long and that's what everyone knows you as.

I would just use your married name if that is the name that you go by.
