There are also engagement parties, bridal showers and rehearsal dinners. Wedding stationery is the one constant that ties all these events together.

Wedding thank you notes
Prior to getting married, you should only write thank you notes on stationery that either has the bride's first name, full name or monogram. For example:
Jennifer
Jennifer Lynn Porter
JPL
++++++++++
Alternatively, stationery with only the bride's and groom's first names may be used prior to the wedding. Many couples choose this option because it enables them to use the stationery for all occasions: their showers, their wedding and beyond. An example would be:
Jennifer and John
++++++++++
If the bride plans to keep her maiden name after she is married, she might consider using it on her wedding stationery as a signal to everyone how she plans to be addressed after the wedding. For example:
Jennifer Porter and John Smith
++++++++++
Thank you notes for wedding gifts should only be sent after the wedding. (Prior to the actual wedding day, you can either write the thank you note and wait until your wedding day to mail it or use stationery with the bride's maiden name or the bride's and groom's first names only.) Examples of how to write the bride's and groom's names:
Mr. and Mrs. John M. Smith
(The most formal option includes the groom's middle initial)
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
(Very common, but somewhat less formal casual)
Jennifer and John Smith
(Casual)
Dr. Jennifer and Mr. John Smith
(When the bride is a doctor and plans to take her husband's last name)
Drs. Jennifer and John Smith
(If both the bride and groom are doctors)
