Do you have a wedding e-mail address? And are you going to keep it after the wedding?

Early on, I read somewhere that you should set up an e-mail account to handle all of the vendors, inquiries, and spam that your e-mail will get shared with... so I did.

Early on, I read somewhere that you should set up an e-mail account to handle all of the vendors, inquiries, and spam that your e-mail will get shared with... so I did. I had planned on coming up with something more clever after we were married to transfer all of my e-mails to, as my current e-mail has to do with my previous married name. The problem I recently realized is that everyone now is requiring a cell phone number to get an e-mail account with them. I'd rather not share that, so I am considering keeping it. So, has anyone else set up a "wedding only" e-mail, and are you keeping it?

    I have. Both my FH and I have access to it, and we linked it to our phones. It's really helpful to have only wedding-related things in there, so we know exactly where to look when we need to look over any info we received. Ours is mylastname.hislastname so we may keep it after the wedding.

    We have a wedding email but no, I don't think I'll keep it after.

    FH and I made a joint account for all things wedding but I don't see us keeping it after. It was just so we could both read correspondence in one place. It's been helpful.

    Yes, I did and I find it very helpful. You can have multiple emails come to your phone so you don't have to check both separately. I give out my wedding email without reservation (bridal shows, vendors, etc.) and I do not plan to keep it after the wedding.

    I am using my "junk" email that I created when I was 11 years old and I move everything actually relevant to my wedding over to my important email.

    We have but I am ditching it after the wedding, because it has the word "wedding" in it.

    Yes my FH and I set up a joint email that includes both of our names. It has worked out great for us with the wedding planning.

    Do not ditch it immediately after the wedding. A vendor may need to get a hold of you. One of my couples gave the courthouse a wrong mailing address. The courthouse had to contact me for information on them. Fortunately, I had the correct mailing address and an e-mail address.

    I made a joint email address for us for wedding planning (and beyond) by smashing our last names together! We've jokingly called ourselves "Team Hislastname Mylastname" so I just used that.

    ETA It's a gmail account and I have the app so I get notifications on my phone when we get a message.

    I have one and I love it! It's super convenient, it keeps all communication with my vendors in one place. Plus since it's a gmail account I use it to make wedding related google docs that I could share with FH. And I have it set up on my phone so I get a notification when I get an e-mail.

    I don't have a wedding email since I always had a personal email and another one for whatever else.

    Hi- so is/was your wedding email address your first name and your fiancé’s last name? I thought about doing that but I was worried to start using his last name before we were married.
