Second marriage - names on invites??

I sucked it up and put my ex's name on there. If they weren't already printed though I would just put our first names on them.

Technically, you can put whatever name you are comfortable with on the invitation. It's not like a license - it isn't a legal document.

If you're putting your parents name on the invitation, then I'd probably go with your maiden name. If it's an invitation that says something like, "Together with our parents...", just use your first and middle name.

How formal is the wedding? I say anyone at your wedding knows you by first name so last names aren't really necessary lol. But if you are having a big, formal wedding in a church or something, it might look a little funny. Go ahead and put your maiden name if you're more comfortable with it.

I put my ex's name on there as well. I was very hesitant because most of FH's extended family doesn't know I was married before, and I don't want anybody going up to my dad calling him Mr. ex's name because they think that is my maiden name and therefore my dad's. For a while I thought about just putting our first names on there but in the end I decided to put the last name on there. It has been my name for a long time and shouldn't matter.

I too kept my husband's last name because of our son. I just ordered our invitations and I used my first and middle name!! Easy solution

I'd put the one you feel comfortable using.

For me it was easy as I never changed my name with #1 but people did and actual still do use it for me as well.

I would have felt odd putting it on the invite as it is people from back home that know me as that and not people from now

I used my ex's last name. It's the name I used for almost 30 years, and it's my kids' last name, too, so it would have felt awkward to do it another way.

I legally have my Ex's last name still, but am using my maiden name on invites. Because I am more comfortable with that. But I also us my maiden name for anything that isn't a legal document.
