Name change for thank yous?

Since Thank Yous won't be sent out until after the wedding should my last name be changed on them?

If you are planning on changing your names then yes.  This is a great way to let your friends and family know that you are changing your name and how you would like to be addressed in the future.

But if you receive any gifts prior to your wedding then a thank you must be written immediately and for that you will want to use your current name since you won't be married at that point.

I'm not worrying about the name change, even though this was a topic of conversation recently. The return address labels we bought for wedding correspondence has both of our names and I just cannot justify buying more for something I think as minor as a name change.

I may consider it for the next correspondence after that (Christmas Cards) but we have so many return address labels with both our names for different events that it just seems like a waste of money.

I can see why people would do it, but I think it's not a big deal in the long run or that anyone will notice.

Do you mean the return address, or are you getting special thank you notes with your name on it.

I didn't change my name, and we just signed our first names on the thank you note. We just hand wrote our name and address on the thank you notes we wrote after the wedding, since we moved a week later and didn't have new address labels yet.

We moved into our home a few months before our wedding. I ordered two address stamps at that time. One with my name on it & then one with Just his last name on it. I used both stamps until the wedding and now we just us the one with just our last name on it. By not putting his first name on the stamp, we're still able to use it 3 years later no matter which of us the item is from.

We ordered separate return address labels for after the wedding with my new last name.  We have an abundance of labels with my current last name on them though so we'll keep using those until they run out after the wedding.  I am changing my name but I'm not fussed about getting it done right away or anything.  I'll just do it as things come up.
