i would go with 2. I think christmas cards are informal so it's not necessary to put last names on them.
I think it you want people to know that you're going to keep your name I'd go with the first option and put both of your last names down. Definitely do not choose option #3 because that will look like you took his last name.
What about using either something like "from, Jill and Jack" or "From the new Mr. and Mrs." that doesn't mention your last name and then on the envelope putting both your first and last names on the return address line.
I'd stick with just first names and then on the outside of the envelopes use both of your names!
I voted for first names because Christmas cards are informal. The third option makes it seem like you took his last name. And someone recommended Mrs., but as far as I understand, you only use Mrs. if you take his name, so that isn't a good option either.
I vote for first names for the insides of the cards and both of your whole names for the return address.
I think it depends on who receives your cards (all close family?) and what type of a card. If it's a flat photo card thing, then both of your full names. If it's a handwritten card, then first names are fine (and both full names on the envelope).

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I didn't change my maiden name and would like to be known professionally and socially by my maiden name. However, we are ordering printed x'mas cards that also announces our wedding date and have our names on it.
How should we have our names printed on the card? Here's some options i was thinking: 1) My whole (first & maiden) name and hubby's whole name; 2) just both our first names; 3) My first name and his whole name.
I don't really want to put the last option because I want people to know that I didn't change my name. I don't want to people to start calling me by his last name or else I would have changed it.
Which option is best and any other suggestions from Bees who kept their name? Thanks.
