Not Changing Name - How to personalize?

Brittany, on January 20, 2020 at 1:48 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
Hi -

I am not changing my last name or I might hyphenate. I'm not sure, really struggling with this choice.

For those who did not change or did hyphenate how did you personalize things?
i.e bride hanger, signs, cups, bags, robes etc.
I dont want to miss out on all the cute stuff but dont know how to make it work.
Thanks!

    Also, even if you aren’t changing your last name you’re going from Ms. to Mrs. Smiley smile

    I hyphenated. I just put my new hyphenated last name items with Mrs in front. Here is a photo with my dress hanger.

    This is actually not true. You become a Mrs. when you change your last name. Some people may not know proper etiquette and call you Mrs. socially, but technically you’d still be Mr. husband last and Ms. wife maiden. Could you personalize with your first name or “bride?”

    You can use Ms. whatever your name or marital status.

    I just didn’t use any “Mr. & Mrs.” or “Mrs Whatever” decor but I wouldn’t have anyway if I did change my name because it’s not my thing. We did do some decor with initials (AR & AM also some just A&A). If you like the “Mrs.” stuff just go ahead and use it if it doesn’t bother you that it won’t be your actual legal name, it’s no biggie.

    I didn’t personalize anything. I wanted people to WANT to use the things we gifted them.. so we personalized nothing. We sign things with ‘J&A’
