Hello all, What are you guys using for the title of your wedding. Example : The Smith Wedding Whose last name are you using, yours or your partner's (or both) and why? Just curious because we are still trying to decide wedding hashtag names and such. Thanks everyone!

Hello all,

What are you guys using for the title of your wedding. Example : The Smith Wedding

Whose last name are you using, yours or your partner's (or both) and why?

Just curious because we are still trying to decide wedding hashtag names and such.

Thanks everyone!

    Using his last name.... for everything and yes we have a hashtag.... Our adult in their 20's children insisted... #happilyeverwatson is what i would allow... its plain and simple

    I never thought about a title. When we are announced at the reception we will use his last name since I'm taking his name. On most of our contracts it has both of our names on it. It usually says "Graves-Martin" wedding (my last name first) I don't know if that's because that's what you do or if I'm first because I'm totally in charge of the weddings stuff lol. I know our venue will put out signs directing people where to go and I think it will say "Graves Martin Wedding". But idk. That's just what I'm assuming because when I went to tour another couple who was getting married had two names listed on the sign

    I was trying to decide what to do for the link to our wedding website (its the host site address then you can customize the end), I want to keep it as simple as possible so that our guests can get to it easily, but we both have long and confusing European last names LOL so I'm just using his last name. I'll be taking his after the wedding, but on any signs at the wedding it will probable be "[Mine]-[His] wedding"

    For formal purposes it goes Bride's last name hyphen Groom's last name. This would be used, for example, when entering a banquet hall with multiple rooms. You normally see a sign indicating "Smith-Jones Wedding" in the Grand Ballroom. Outside of that you can use whatever title or hashtag you'd like. Best wishes!

    I had never even thought of this until we signed the paperwork for our venue. When it was typed up our wedding coordinator typed it up as the "my last name-his last name" wedding
