My legal name is Kathryn, but have gone by Kay ever since I was a little girl.  My grandmother is the only one who calls me Kathryn.  The save the dates say Kay, as do the custom napkins I ordered.  What would you put on the invites, Kay or Kathryn?

    If it's formal then I would go with your full name. It's it's more casual i would go with Kay

    I agree with PPs... depends on the style of your invitations and wedding.

    lol Erica! Can you imagine the phone calls you would receive?!

    I agree with the girls but also think that if most people don't know that your actual name is Kathryn, then I personally would go with Kay because I would want the guests to know who the invite is coming from.
