     Proper Invitation Wording for Divorced Bride  

Hello. I need to know what is considered proper for the wording of our invitation. We are planning a simple outdoor wedding, casual event, that the bride and groom are paying for. This will be a second marriage for both of us.

When I divorced, I kept my ex's name, so that my children and I would have the same last name. I thought it would be best to word the invitation as First Last Maiden Married, but my fiance' does not like this. What is considered proper??

You should use your legal name, the one that everyone knows. Anyone who is close enough to you to invite to your wedding should recognize your name. Your fiance might not like seeing your ex-hsuband's name on his wedding invitation but, if it is your name, then that is the name you'll use.
