POLL: Which option for a return address stamp?

Hello ladies! Long time, no see! I wanted to get your opinion on something :o)

After doing this last round of Christmas cards, I decided that we need a nice return address stamp. (I love the ones here, for example, but will probably design my own.)

I would love to have something simple like "The [Last Name]s," and then our address, but DH and I have different last names, and after 6 1/2 years of marriage I'm not changing my name for a rubber stamp!

So, do you think I should go with just first names, or just last names? The last names version seems kind of formal, especially considering we'd be using it mostly just for friends, but doing just first names might be too informal..? WDYT?

Option 1:
Joe & Jane
123 Main St.
Anytown, ST 12345

Option 2:
Smith & Jones
123 Main St.
Anytown, ST 12345

PS: Yes, I know I am way overthinking this ;o)

  • My fiance and I had a rubber stamp made for our return addresses for invites and thank you's so I hadn't changed my name yet and we went with just first names. I think it is much simpler to do just first names.

  • I'd go with first names.  Less formal, more whimsy.

    And by the way, Etsy has rubber stamps a lot cheaper than other sites. Just be sure to read the description as not all of them are self inking.

  • Before H and I were married we had one with first names. Have you thought about stickers? I ordered a stamp on Etsy and felt like it was too wet and inconsistent. I know different ones will be better though. You could even buy or make a design and print label sheets as you need them. 
  • Thanks, first names it is!

    I think I am going to just design my own stamp and have it made at OvernightPrints.com. I've gotten stampers there before and they're good quality.

  • Maybe "The Jones-Smith Family" or "A. Jones & B. Smith"?

  • I like Joe and Jane more, especially if you're using the stamp to correspond with friends and family.
