Return Address Dilema

I'm not sure how I should have our return address for our invitations. Part of me wants to use our future name, but I'm not sure if that's what we should address them that way.

Re: Return Address Dilema

  • I just used my name.  Even though my FI and I live together, I figured I didn't want to advertise it to our more conservative guests.  I wouldn't use your new name since it isn't technically your name just yet. :)

  • I used my current name too since we aren't married yet =)

    All of your thank you notes will have your new name on them...I'm excited about that!

  • i used my first and last name & his first and last name, then his address even though i'm not living with him yet

    i bought return address labels with my first name, his first name and his last name for our thank you cards and announcements for after the wedding :)
  • I used both our names on our outer envelope return address, and just my name for our RSVPs.  I wouldn't use your new name yet, guests might get confused and think you are already married.

  • We're putting "Mylastname & FI'slast name Wedding" instead of using names for the invites.

  • I would wait until you are married to use your married last name.

  • I just put my mom's last name (she is remarried) on the labels.
    PS Are you guys putting the labels on the front of the envelope, or back flap?

  • I had our address printed on the back of the envelope when I ordered my invites. I didn't put our names - just our address. For the RSVP cards, I had both of our names (mine with my maiden name) and our address printed on them.

    For the wedding thank you cards though, I had "The LastNames" with our address printed on the envelopes.

  • we didnt put any name on the return address..just the address (people should be able to figure it out by the actual invitation..which has everyones names on it)....seems to be working, and then I dont have to explain to people why they are going to a house in a city i dont live in....(I live at my parents house, but we bought a house in november and FI is living there and we are using that address)

    I wouldn't use your 'future' name b/c the big day hasn't hit yet. Ours says both of our (current) names...just a thought. (We also live together, which is why I put both names as opposed to just mine. -- it's been 4 years...that cat has long been out of the closet. lol)

  • We're putting them on the front of the envelope & we used "FI's Last Name" & "My Last Name" & our address (we live together). Everyone knows we live together since we have a baby together :) LOL

  • I know he isn't going to be tearing RSVP's open and keeping track of that, so those are addressed to me at his address.  I say I'm half moved in but I've been living there.  Also the mail to my place is SO unreliable.  I didn't have the outer envelopes printed with a return address, but it'll just be our house, if I buy labels or just write it.
