I know someone who took his name socially and her email etc stayed the same. Her personal mail is with his name, but bills etc. are in the maiden name. As far as hotels and such, she books under her the social name because you can put it on whoever's credit card you want. I hope that helps!
I opted to change my name completely, so I'm not sure, but I would assume that you just get introduced as "Oh, and this is my wife, Firstname HisLast" when you're meeting colleagues, friends, etc. i don't think you necessarily need to do anything other than answer to HisLast. Maybe I'm wrong here, though.
Hmmm...I'm kind of doing the same thing...unintentionally, though. I'm not changing my name but if people refer to me as Mrs HisLastname I don't get offended and don't correct the person. For example, we have recently received an invitation to a baptism addressed to M & M HisLastName. However, my email adress and everything else stays unchanged: my maiden name.
My mom never legally changed her last name when she married my dad, but she used his last name for their entire marriage (including credit cards, etc). It depends on the extent you want to use it.
Yeah, I sort of wondered the details of this myself. I am also strongly considering keeping my maiden name and taking my fiance's name socially. I would be Mrs. S when introduced, etc.
Here is an odd question - do you become Mrs. Maiden Name after you are married if you elect to keep your maiden name? Sorry if that seems like a silly question.
@Valhalla: No, you don't become Mrs. Maiden Name after you are married if you keep your maiden name. You are just Ms. Maiden Name.
If you are only changing your name socially, officially you should keep all accounts in your maiden name. Since you aren't changing things, you probably don't need to do anything with your accounts except adding eachother as beneficiaries on accounts and life insurance policies like usual. Changing an account to the married name might get companies or IRS confused, which can't be good.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
we agreed that i would keep my maiden name legally and professionally but use his last name socially. I'm trying to figure out what that exactly entails..
i made reservations under my legal name (for ID, credit card purposes) for our honeymoon - then got referred to as Mrs MyLastName throughout the honeymoon by the folks at the resort.
my personal email still has my last name on it and all my mail, etc. does too. am i supposed to change it in directories, etc?
if you're taking his last name socially only, what are you doing? i'm trying to understand the extent to which it should be carried out.
