Return address labels - 2 different last names

Re: Return address labels - 2 different last names

  I got some really great deals on cards (birth announcements w/ photos) and address labels at Tiny Prints.

  I'd probably just pick a last name - probably the one that your fiance and son share (assuming it'll someday be yours too, so you can keep using the extras down the line), and use that on the return address label.  It can just say "Smith" as the name, it doesn't have to say "Jay, Suzanne, and Mason Smith."  Then I'd make sure that you sign the Christmas cards with everyone's first names.

  I say get married! But just order the address labels with the boys' last name, to save yourself trouble. I'm sure everyone is going to know who it's from, and if not, they will find out when they open the card and see who signed it!

  I agree that you should go with one last name or no last name at all. We got our labels from Vista Print and got a great deal. I think we paid $5 (including shipping) for a ton. And they have cute patterns.

  I got ours from Expressionery.com.  I did the kind with cartoon faces and our first names below the faces and then just our address below that.  No last name.

  I think if you hit the "preview" button on this link you can see an example:

  I didn't take DH's last name (MIL still talks about it...sigh), but I did give our son his last name, because I'm not a big fan of hyphenating. On our return address labels it says my first and last name and DH's first and last name. No one ever seems to notice...except MIL.

  Also, on our xmas card, it's a pic of DS, and it just says "Happy Holidays, Love Andrea, Mike & Henry" - I avoid putting a last name on at all costs!

  If you are going to take his last name I also vote no first names with the boys' last name.  When we mailed out wedding invites we had already bought our house so I just did his last name followed by our address.  We still use the stamp 2+ years later so you won't have to replace it once you get married.

  Thanks for the advice. I ordered labels from Vista Print for just over $5. I went with the little personalized cartoon faces with our first names under each one and just our address. No last name at all. I just ordered these specifically for Christmas with a Christmas design. They were cheap enough. I will add a last name when we actually get married. I found out I was pregnant the day before we were supposed to put the deposit down on our wedding venue. Oops! We weren't trying not to get preganant though so it wasn't a real oops. We were going with the plan of what ever happens first, happens first. We'll get married someday. Seven years feels like we already are.

  Haa haa! Yes, get married tomorrow so your labels will be nice and easy! I like the hyphenation.
