[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't change my name (20.years ago) but I am ok being called "Mrs. Married Name."

I hate the phrase "the Smiths" or whatever because it sounds like it's from a 1950s stepford wife Christmas card. [/quote]

Op, this is what I mean. It strikes me as so stepford. Like I recently asked for my friends address to send (just her) something and she replied, ‘send it to THE ROTHSCHILDS, 236 Park Avenue, NY NY (made up obviously)’ and it struck me as so icky.

Where is my friend in that? [/quote]

I'm in my 50s and assume they are just spouting things like their parents used to say, by calling people "The Rothschilds." It's really dated.[/quote]

So you'd never ask your husband if the Smiths were coming to your BBQ? Instead you'd say are John, Ellen, Same and Elliot coming to the BBQ? Really?[/quote]

Such a strange post. ‘Ask your ‘husband? Snort.

I’d ask the wife-  ‘hey, are you and Bob coming? Kids too?’ Simple. [/quote]

Most families I know with different last names just create a mashup -- If you're wondering if Joe Forrest and Elizabeth Bumstead are coming and bringing the kids, you ask if the Forsteads are coming. [/quote]
