[quote=Anonymous]My parents were married for 45 years until my dad died and every single member of his family always addresses things to my mom as Mrs. Smith even though she kept her last name AND they made the mutual decision to give me her last name because his name was a challenge to pronounce and spell. Even when he died last year she received condolence cards to Mrs Jane Smith and sometimes even to Mrs. John Smith, even though her name is Jane Jones.

I decided as a kid that I would change my name to my husband’s when I got married because it was easier for us all to have the same last name, but I use both last names for work, so I’m Anna Jones Brown in my work life and Anna Brown socially. My kids are Larlo & Larla Brown.

I address most families with multiple last names as the Smith Jones family or the Smith/Jones family. Would never forget one name. We even have some friends who each kept their last name and gave their child a complete different last name, in that case they would be the Smith/Jones/Brown family on a card from me. [/quote]
