Groom changing last name or creating new last name

I know it varies in every state, but the newspaper cost us $180 and the registration/court fees or whatever it was about $200 if I remember correctly. Newspaper will totally depend on the state, and needs to be run for 5 weeks, 6 weeks before your court date a lot of times or some weird rules, so definitely start early!

Hello all, I was wondering what several of you did as far as FH changing name before the wedding, creating new name, etc. My FH's family is changing their name back to original family name (before it was changed at Ellis Island decades ago) and I am trying to figure out how to write our wedding invitations. FH family is going through the process in the 6 months between us sending out our save the dates (With his old last name) and the wedding. Trying to figure out whether to put the old or new last name on the actual invitations.

Thanks!

Personally, I would think that’s a better option than just having two different last names. My FSIL kept her last name without hyphenating and a lot of people have reacted poorly to her decision. The issue I take is that without sharing a last name it doesn’t feel as much like a family. Just something to think about - What last name would you want your children to take? Now if you do not want to have his last name for whatever reason then I find it absolutely sweet for the two of you to create a new last name together. It would make your relationship more unique and no one would doubt that you two are together. It’s a personal preference though and you need to decide what you’re comfortable with. Just because I don’t like the idea of having a different last name than my FH doesn’t mean it’s right for you. Make sure you consider how separate last names will impact the two of you in the future and make the decision based on your comfort.

Should my partner have my last name Burnett after we get married.
