Thank you notes

Alison Kamine

Our daughter is getting married on October 17, 2010 and has received many lovely wedding gifts. She will be changing her last name to her husbands and wants to know if it would be improper to write her thank you notes now on stationary that has  her new last name printed on it.

She shouldn't use anything with her new last name until she is married.

I think she should until after the wedding to use her new last name.

Yes, it would be improper.

Yes, it's improper.

If she already has these nice thank you notes, she should get some standard thank you notes (usually cheap at Target, Michaels, etc) and just use those until the wedding. Guests appreciate a prompt, hand-written thank you more than they appreciate custom-made thank you notes.

Ditto msmerymac and georgia. Just tell her to buy thank you notes at WM or Target that are blank inside. I got mine at WM, they said Thank You in silver on the front and were blank inside and they were cheap.

It's good that she's thinking about how she should go about writing her thank you notes. But Until she said "I do" and sign her marriage license, she still is Ms....., so it she should sign her thank you notes as Ms... ( just an example) as well as not using her new last name on any stationery until after the wedding.

She shouldn't use anything that does not technically exist yet.

So in the meantime, she should go buy some plain notecards and they should be used for the TY notes for the gifts that have already arrived.
