Are you planning on changing your last name to your husband's after the wedding? There are number of companies and government agencies you'll need to reach out to - social security, department of motor vehicles, credit cards.
But since you won't be filing the paper work until after your wedding and probably after you returned from your honeymoon make sure you book your flight and hotel reservations in the name that appears on your current ID cards - passport, driver's license - and that would be your maiden name.
You can still let the airline and hotel that the reason for your trip is your honeymoon and enjoy any perks like free champagne on your arrival.

I don't think so...don't see a reason why I should.
Here's a different take on changing your name when you get married -- from the mind of Baby Name Wizard, Laura Wattenberg.

I'm not changing my name because FI's has a hyphenated last name in which the first half is my last name (its a common name in our religion). So FI is dropping the second name so that we'll have the same name.
The funny thing is that it bothers me when people say "you're marrying him? now you dont even have to change your name!" as if its something I would have done otherwise! Even if we didn't have the same last name I wouldn't change mine.
Smart. This is one of the things you don't think of when you're getting lost in wedding plan mania.
Great tip. I didn't even think about that little detail. There are so many places to contact when changing your name. It really is a process.
