    My husband and I got legally married before his deployment almost a year ago. We will be doing our ceremony on our one year anniversary coming up in April and I just realized that I don't know how to address myself on the Save the Dates and Invitations. I've heard that you are supposed to use your legal name but I think it may be odd for us to have the same last name on our wedding invitations. Should I use my maiden name on the invitations or both maiden and married names? Help please! 

    sorry if this post isn't is the right place, i didn't know where else to put it!

    I agree with live laugh love. I think it is okay to use your maiden name, since it is your ceremony and not just a reception so you will be renewing your vows.

    I agree with previous posters but you could use just your first or just your first and second.
