Return address with new last name

jessicajimbo

Is it bad etiquette to use my new last name on my return address labels for our save the dates and invites. I want to get a stamp that we can use even after we're married.

That is not your name yet, so don't do that. I would just put an address with no name;that's what we did.

It's not your name yet. Save it for the thank you notes after the wedding. We just put both of our names on the return address labels for STDs and for invitations we did just our address.

Exactly what we did.  I'll be honest, I think it is weird when brides use their soon to be married name before the wedding.

It's not bad etiquette, it just kinda makes very little sense.  You don't have your new name yet, so your return lables will just look weird.

Our return address stamp just has our first names.

We did our first names with the letter H at the end, for his last name.

Our stamp just has first names too. Keeps it nice and simple.

Jessica and FI

I agree.  I ordered return address labels from vistaprint.com.  BTW they came out beautifully & I love them.  I ordered enough for pre-wedding mailings in my current name along with ones with future name & both of us with future name for after the wedding mailings.
