include last names on invitation?
|
|
|
Hi, I am choosing the wording for our wedding invitation and am not sure if I should include our last names since it is my second wedding but my fiance's first. Our wedding style is not formal (but not casual either). I am self conscious about using my last name since it is not my maiden name. My thought was to only use our first and middle names...is there any "rule of thumb" about this type of situation?

Hi,
I am getting married too, and it will be my second marriage, my fiance's first. I will use my maiden name, as my ex-husband abused me and I want to have nothing to do with him. Stay with your maiden name. You never lose your maiden name in the first place....

You should use the names you go by legally, the names all of your friends and family know you by. :D

I'm getting remarried in March, and had the same question. I decided to use my first name, and then maiden and last name on the invitations. I was going to use just my maiden name, but then no one would know who I was. :)

My husband and I were married over a year ago in a civil ceremony. We’ve set the date in 2004, for our Church wedding and formal reception to follow. We’d like to mail out “Save the Date” cards (the date lands on a holiday weekend), although we’re not quite sure on the verbiage. Many of our relatives know that we are married, but I believe some of them think they were just “left off” the guest list and were not invited to our first wedding. We’d like to say something along the lines of, “ Because we were not able to share our first wedding ceremony, we’d love to have you attend our second wedding/reception”. Basically, something indicating that no one was invited, and this is our way of planning another event to reaffirm our vows in Church w/ our family and friends. Do you have any formal verses that you can share for this “Save the Date” card/invitation?
Thanks.

That's a new one to me - but here is my suggestion -
Because we were not able to share our
previous wedding ceremony with our relatives and friends
Please reserve the date of Date
to witness us
renewing our vows
and celebrate with a reception
Invitation and details will follow
Hope ths helps!
