Married Name Change & MissNowMrs.com On the Today Show!

Married Name Change and MissNowMrs.com on the Today show are big news! Are you newlywed and trying to decide if you should change your name? If so, you are not alone. The Today show ran a segment yesterday completely devoted to the topic of married name change. Check out the segment (and a shout out to MissNowMrs.com at the 4:25 mark) here!

One of the takeaways from the Today Show coverage is that the Wall Street Journal reported on a 35 year study that shows more women are deciding to take their spouse’s names. This is a change in the trend of 23% of women keeping their maiden names in the 1990s. Another good observation was that women who marry when they are older and more established in a career are more likely to keep their names or hyphenate.

Debra Shigley, the author of The Go-Getter Girls Guide, was one of the experts being interviewed. She mentioned that MissNowMrs.com was available to help simplify the transition from Miss to Mrs. We love that she gave us a shout-out on national television!!!

Whatever name-change choice you decide works for you and your spouse is wonderful. Let’s all be glad that we have choices in the matter! If you’re overwhelmed with the amount of paperwork & stress associated with married name change please check out MissNowMrs.com today and change your name the easy way!

Your Married Name: To Change or Not to Change!?

Thinking about changing to your married name? Although this is a difficult decision for some, and many women go back and forth on this, we can be thankful that changing your name after marriage is a choice! For some of us the answer is simple, while others will toy around with the idea for years!

Some women choose to keep their maiden name for professional reasons, some feel as though by changing their name they’re losing a part of their identity, while for others, the decision relies heavily on family and traditions.

Whatever the case may be, there are many factors that will affect your decision, and for many, that single most important factor is your spouse!

I already knew that I wanted to take my husband’s last name, but I also knew that he would’ve been offended if I didn’t. So for me the decision was simple, and friends from my younger years still refer to me by my maiden name, so I still get the best of both worlds!

We want you to share your decision-making story on your married name change with us! Did your spouse play a deciding role on your decision? Or, tell us why you simply chose to keep your maiden name!

Should you want to change your name, the MissNowMrs app or online name change service can save hour hours of stress and hassle!

75,000th Customer Reflections

We’re celebrating customer reflections today. Exciting news: MissNowMrs recently celebrated our 75,000^th customer! It’s rather amazing to look back and realize exactly how many brides and newlyweds have benefited from the idea of one fed-up newlywed.

My disastrous name-change experience, including 3 trips to get my driver’s license, led to the idea for an easy online name-change service for brides nationwide. Despite my complete lack of computer skills, I (with the help of my new husband & another business partner) put together the framework for what is now MissNowMrs.

The framework was easy compared to the research. Imagine calling all of the Motor Vehicle Administrations in all 50 states to fully understand their name-change requirements. That research project and then similar ones for all of the other name-change forms fed into the vast information base that powers MissNowMrs today.

MissNowMrs is proud to be a small woman-owned business that makes the lives of other women easier. It’s worth every tedious hour of research to know that our customers can change their name and save 13 hours of unnecessary hassle. That’s a lot of time to spend enjoying your newlywed status instead of standing in government office lines!

Here’s one of my all-time favorite customer reflections in the form of a quote about our service:

“This is a great service that you are providing. I put off my name change for a year, because I was dreading ALL the paperwork! A newly married friend of mine, kindly informed me of your services. Needless to say, I’m ready to be a Mrs. now!! Thanks MissNowMrs.com!!”

Did you use MissNowMrs for your married name change? If so, did it help save you time and stress? We’d love to hear about your experience in a comment… and if you still need to change your name we’d love to help!

MissNowMrs.com = Savings on Gas Money

How can a name change service create savings on gas money? I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the price of gas this morning on my way to work thinking about how much it must cost all over our country right now. No matter where in the U.S. you live, I’m sure you’re being hit hard with rising gas prices. It’s ridiculous to see the prices go up each week (…for some of us, each day) with little to no relief in sight, right?

Unfortunately, we ALL have to continue to purchase gas. We can’t just stop driving to work, to the grocery store, or to anywhere else we HAVE to go each day, but what we can do is cut back on how much unnecessary driving we do. Our easy online name change service will help you do just that. Cut back on the amount of driving you have to do to a number of government agencies to complete your married name change. Seriously, check out the list of name-change forms we provide for you along with step-by-step instructions to file your name change with (most) agencies via MAIL.

What this means for YOU:

1. TIME SAVED: You’ll save yourself TIME not having to research the name change process or wait in lines at government offices for agencies that allow you to notify them via mail.
2. STRESS-FREE: There’s no need to worry about filing mishaps due to out-dated forms, fees and instructions or having to take a day off from work just to spend it waiting around at each office. Save those PTO days for a vacation or a long weekend getaway!
3. SAVINGS ON GAS MONEY: This is a no-brainer…you’ll save at least a half-tank of gas by using our service since you’re not driving all over town to file your name change in-person with each agency!
Nearly 90% of brides change their names after marriage, so I ask you, “why not do it the easy way and keep name change hassles out of your newlywed life?!” That being said, we know you’ll still be driving around in your day-to-day routine, so we thought we would let you in on the secret to finding the lowest gas prices in your area.

Have the rising gas prices forced you to take a look at how much you drive? Tell us about some changes you have made in your daily routines, to cut back on the money spent at the pumps!
