When we get married next year, I will not be changing my name. My family knows about this, as does FI's mother, but as they are divorced I am not sure if she told FI's dad's side. Otherwise, I would usually think this is spread through word-of-mouth.
I have read several suggestions online about what to do to inform guests of this, but I am also etiquette-conscious and want to make sure no one (or as few people as possible, because some inevitably won't agree with not changing my name) side-eyes what we do to address it. I read this link which addresses at home cards and the various iterations of them:

If I send something with the invitation, how would I word it? Feel free to advise - if there's a better way of saying the following, I would appreciate suggestions.
