So, we agreed not to put any parents on our wedding invitations, one crisis solved.  Now, I am trying to figure out if I should put my maiden last name or my current last name(from my previous marriage). Opinions please!!

    I'm sure etiquette would tell you to use your current last name, but really I think it is up to you. How do you feel about your current last name? Will using your maiden name make your parents feel good? Do you have children, how do they feel? Do they care?

    I went back to my maiden name after my divorce, had to petition the court but it was mostly because when I got back in my career it was easier to get call backs with my maiden name, because people knew who I was.

    We are only going to have our first names on the invitation being that those invited are close family only so everyone knows who we are.

    I put my married name on my invitations.  Most of the non-family people at the wedding only know me by that name - and I'll be rid of it soon enough Smile

    I think either way would be ok.  If you're going to use last names, then you should use the one everyone knows you as.  Or just use first names.

    I used my current last name (not my maiden name) just because alot of the people I invited to the wedding (like co-workers) only know my by my current last name.

    I changed back to my maiden name after the divorce, but if I had kept my married name I would have used that.  I say just use your first names! Laughing

    Use the name that people know you by.  The invitation shouldn't confuse the recipient.

    As a nod to my wishing I could eliminate my xH's name, I used firstname, maiden name, married name.  ~Donna

    Me too - firstname, maidenname, old marriedname on the invitations, because that's how people know me.  Now, I use first, maiden, new married.
