    my parents are hosting the wedding, so on the invitation you are not supposed to list the brides last name - only the first and middle

    what happens if my middle name is my moms maiden name?  do i list this?  it looks like a last name since it is!

    help!

    It will look fine since you will only have two names listed, not three.  I wouldn't worry about it so much!

    Hmm... maybe in that case you might want to list your first, middle, and last names.  I put my last name on my wedding invitation even though my parents were hosting.  My parents each have their own last names, and mine is a hyphenated combination of both of their last names.  I also don't have a middle name, so this made the most sense in my case...

    I put my full name too.  My mom has a different last name and I feel like it sounds like I'm a child if it just says Sarah Elizabeth...

    But I don't think it matters a whole lot either way, so pick what you think looks best.

    My middle is mom's maiden as well, so I put my whole name. I think its weird when the bride just has first and middle but the groom has his whole name listed.
