MissNowMrs name change gift cards are now at Target! Tis the season for bridal showers and weddings! Do you feel like you’re attending one or the other every weekend from now through early Fall? While watching friends and family fall in love and get married is amazing, it can leave a girl feeling overwhelmed on the gifting front.

3 Tips to Make Your Name Change Decision A Snap!

Your name change decision is a big one. While some of us newlyweds don’t want to change our names (and shouldn’t.) 88.6% of brides/newlyweds are still making the switch to Mrs. What if you can’t decide if you want to change your name? Read on for 3 tips to make your name change decision a snap!

Tip 1 –Talk to your spouse. Find out if they want you to change your name and why. There may be some fact or factor that you are unaware of that will make the decision easier. Perhaps they’re the last to carry the family name or have spent a lifetime imagining introducing their wife as Mrs. XYZ. Conversely, you may have assumed they want you to change your last name, but they might be happy to take yours.

Tip 2 – Figure out your options. There are SO many ways to change your name these days! You can take two last names, hyphenate, take your maiden as a middle, replace your middle with your maiden or even blend last names (in some states). Check into your state laws or play the Married Name Game to find out all of your married name change options…you may feel much better when you find your ideal compromise

Tip 3 – Try it out. Test your new name out by introducing yourself as such and signing it on a few things (nothing official)…you may feel less awkward than you thought. You can also talk to your friends about the whole new name idea and see what they think about your situation.

At the end of the day, married name change is entirely up to you. Do what feels best for you and your relationship. There is no official time limit on name change, so you can take your time to make the right decision. If you do decided to go from Miss to Mrs. be sure to use MissNowMrs to streamline the name change process and save 13 hours of hassle!

First Name & Last Name Change After Marriage:The Full Scoop

First name & last name change… who does that?! The internet is a buzz with the news of Fergie changing her name. Lots of women change their last names to their spouse’s, but Fergie is famous and is changing her first name as well as her last name. The starlet will go from Stacy Ann Ferguson to Fergie Duhamel.

Our support team handles numerous questions from brides inquiring if they can change their first name while changing their last name after marriage, so here’s the scoop: MissNowMrs would love to assist you with your name change, but can only help you with a middle* or last name change via the married name change process. To change your first name, you will need to petition the U.S. court system for a legal name change order.

Many brides don’t want to deal with the hassle of legal name change, which includes being fingerprinted and posting ads in newspapers announcing your intended name change. Others really hate their first names (seriously who names a child Agnes or Mildred?) or have been using a different name for the majority of their life.

If you fall into the latter category, like Fergie, we suggest checking out our legal name change partner Legal Zoom to make the process easier.

*Please note that brides in CA, PA, WA, NJ and OH do not have the option to take their maiden name as a middle name per state law.

Miss to Mrs

How exciting is the transition from Miss to Mrs?! Getting married is an amazing event that changes your life and many times your last name. I saw this Mrs. necklace on Pinterest and couldn’t help but share it on the newlywed blog! Could there be a more adorable gift for a bridal shower or anniversary gift?

Leave it to Kate Spade to come up with a classy and stylish way to commemorate making the transition from Miss to Mrs…I only wish the necklace came in rose gold!

Is this bauble something you wish your spouse had surprised you with or something you may “gift yourself” after you legally change your last name? Perhaps you could mention that a particular jewelry purchase would incentivize you to take the plunge into name change…hint…hint!
If you are planning to change your name, let MissNowMrs save you countless hours of stress and hassle. We’ll help you go from Miss to Mrs. in a matter of minutes!
