Can you imagine sending out wedding invitations 23 times? A 68 year old woman living in Indiana named Linda Wolfe has had 23 opportunities to send out wedding invitations. She hold the title of history’s most married woman, and says she would gladly do it again. Linda seems like a person who doesn’t give up on the idea of marriage, no matter what life throws her way.

Most of you won’t have to worry about trying to fit 23 surnames onto your wedding invitations, but there is a chance that you have more than one. Many women are planning their second or third wedding, and it is difficult to determine which last names to use on their modern wedding invitations.

Wedding invitation etiquette gives you some easy guidelines on how to handle this delicate situation. For most divorced brides, you would use your first, maiden, and married names on your wedding invitations. If you are going for a more formal wedding invitation style, you would add the title “Mrs.” and not “Ms.” If you have more than one wedding behind you, you use your married name from the last marriage.

However, use common sense with your wedding invitation wording as well. If it would cause discomfort or conflict with your families for you to use your married name, you can decide for yourself if using your maiden name exclusively would be right for you. You may also choose an informal wedding invitation wording style, that does not include your last names.
