It’s inappropriate to use your married initial before you’re actually married. I’ve heard it said that it shouldn’t even be used for programs at the ceremony, because you won’t officially be a “X” yet.

For the return address, I’m just putting the address, no names. People will be able to tell from the invitation itself who is hosting and if you went this route, you’d be able to use the embosser after the wedding also!

My FI and I live together. Because our names have a certain “zing” to it, I added them to our embosser. “Chris and Christina.” I know the bride’s name should come first but I love the way it sounds, so I kept it.

We’re in the same boat. Since not all of our relatives know that we live together (think great aunts, etc.), using just the address was a good way to get around that. For the reply cards, I listed my name and our address.

I’m not changing my name, and we live together now, so the invites will have both our names and our address.

We did our future last name, but its my fiance’s apt and his last name, so it could go both ways.

I purchased an embosser, like you, and intended to use it on my invitation envelopes. I used only our first names, “bride’s name” & “groom’s name”, then the address. However, be warned that embossers will not work if the paper is too thick. I found this out the hard way after ordering the embosser. What happens if the paper is too thick- is that it doesn’t emboss the whole stamp. Our names, for example were cut off when I tried to emboss my envelope. My invitation envelopes, however are a bit thicker than average. Just a word to the wise…

you probably shouldn’t use your new lastname already.

I purchased an embosser with our future address only. No names.

For our thank you return address do I put both of our names even though I will be the one writing and sending them out?
