Name on invites/STD's

Sweet_Adeline

I'm trying to decide if I should use my maiden name or my current last name on our invites.  I was married when I was 19, and kept his name after the divorce because it seemed easier to have my daughter's last name.

I really don't want my ex's last name on our invites, but most people know me by that name and not my maiden name.

I would use the name that is legally yours that you use regularly.  I understand not wanting someone else's name on the invitations, but it IS your name since you didn't change it back to your maiden name, so try to think of it that way.

Or you can just use your first names on your invitations - I've seen lots of really cute ones that do this, and some more formal ones (if the parents' full names are listed as hosts, then you wouldn't need to add your full name, as well).  Like this:

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

invite you to the wedding of their daugther

Adeline

to

Jack Jones

i agree with pp, use the name you always use, thats your name.

I agree with PP. We actually just used our first names on STD's. That might be a good compromise.
