[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always write "Jane and John Doe". [b]I figure that even if you're not Jane Doe, I'm still correct?[/b]

I only write "Jane Smith and John Doe" on my unmarried, living together friends cards. [/quote]

Nope.[/quote]

I think this is correct. Technically her name isn't next to the last name, it's just avoiding using her last name?

What's your family name if you don't hyphenate or take your DH's last name? Smith Family and Jane Doe?[/quote]

OMG, seriously, are you this dense?  The family name would be "The Smith & Doe Family."  They are one family with multiple last names.  It's really not rocket science.  Why would it be Hislastname Family with her as an outlier?  They are one family.[/quote]

exactly. They are one family. But if 3 of them have the family last name and she has her married last name, it's not really Smith & Doe Family.

I assume the women who don't take their DH's last name don't monogram? Or buy thing that say "Smith Family"? There's never enough room for the huge hyphenation or ampersand. [/quote]

No, I don't monogram.  Never understood the appeal and wouldn't do it even if we shared the same last name.    But having a different last name than spouse doesn't stop one from putting one's own monograms on things like bags or shirts.  [/quote]
