Ladies how do you sign your Christmas cards when you have a combined family? I am divorced and still carry my ex husbands name because of our two sons, but we live with my fiance and his daughter. I send out Christmas cards every year but I don't know how to sign them this year. Thanks.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

So everyone agrees first names are sufficient. That's what I'm doing. I love Rob, N. and our little elves........ Thanks ladies.

sometimes I do first names other times I do "The Smith-Jones family"......I get all kinds of free return address lables so whatever I have is what goes on the envelope, sometimes my name sometimes his.

I'm married, and my husband and I have a daughter together, but my son is from another relationship and has a different last name...
so I just sign our Christmas cards with everyone's firts names (its family and friends...they know who we are!)

Love,
Anthony, Jenn, and Roxy.

First names only, and on the outside of the envelope I just put our last names in the corner like:
Smith-Jones
123 Alphabet Ln.
Fontana, Ca. 92336

Hi N., I understand how this is tricky. I'm in a blended family. Hubby and I got married a year ago and everyone "assumes" I've changed my last name, which I haven't. I do intend to eventually, but will be hypenating it. So I just did our cards and signed them like this:

Love from the Heck-Perkins': Jason, F., McK, Ams and Jax (kids nick names)

On the outside envelope I use Jason Perkins and F. Heck.

Our answering machine at home says "Thanks for calling the Heck-Perkins'..."

I would say just use first names, it's easiest! Good luck and congrats!!!

I've done it like this: "Jane & John, and our little 'elves' X, Y, & Z"

You don't have to be cheesy with the "elves" - you could come up with something else for the kids. :P
