Hyphenated Announcement?

amberlynned · May 2010

Sorry about all the questions. LOL. But I'm kind of perplexed, usually the announcement is:

It is my pleasure to introduce for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith!

But if you're hyphenating and say it, then it sounds like he is hyphenating too:

It is my pleasure to introduce for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane King-Smith!

For those of you that are choosing either to keep your own name or are hyphenating your name with Fi's, how are you being introduced?

TIA!!!

We are going to be announced with his last name only. No hyphenation.

I will be hyphenating my name, but we will be introduced at Mr & Mrs. (Smith).

I'm hyphenating my name so we're going with, "It is my pleasure to introduce for the first time as a married couple...adgenya and adgenya's husband."

Even when people hyphenate their names (or even those who don't officially change their names), they are known socially as Mrs. Hubby name.

So I guess intro are Mr & Mrs. Hubby names or Mrs 1st name & Mr. First and last name or Mr & Mrs. 1st name 1st name and last name....

Hope this helps!

lol @adgenya
Im not hyphenating. But I think if I was. I would let him have his shine for the day and just be announced with his last name.

amberlynned · May 2010

Thanks Ladies,

I am definitely hypenating, and we will either be Mr & Mrs. John & Jane Smith, or Mrs. & Mr. Jane & John Smith.

You're right, I can use his last name for this one day
