The ritual of saying goodbye to a family name is always very touching. And whatever ritual you prefer, it is always a bright and memorable event. Let go of a part of yourself and leave in the past that part of your life with which life before marriage, life with your maiden name, was connected. Although today it is possible to get married legally leaving the same surname, most married couples still prefer to live under the same surname, as if under the roof of the same house.
Today we will tell you how to say goodbye to your dear and close-to-heart maiden name with dignity, in what form to carry out this ritual, and most importantly, when is the most appropriate time to do this.
It is believed that you need to say goodbye to your maiden name at a bachelorette party. However, after the bride has said goodbye to her last name, right up to the wedding itself, she will have to psychologically live “without a last name,” and this is not entirely correct. Therefore, we suggest going through this ritual either before the groom appears at home on the wedding day, or at the exit registration.
Ways to say goodbye to your maiden name.
In addition to changing your last name on social networks, you can approach this moment with imagination, using all your creativity. So, the first way to say goodbye to a family name is to burn it. The bride writes her last name on a piece of paper and then burns the piece of paper. It is at this moment that she realizes what is really happening in her life. It is in such moments that a complete revaluation of values occurs. This ritual is suitable for the home version. (The main thing is to follow fire safety measures and not ruin the dress before the wedding ceremony.) After this ceremony, you can call the groom, who will then go to the registry office with the bride. Surely, the bride will be very excited about his arrival, but this will only add vivid emotions to the moment of the birth of a new family.
Releasing the surname into the sky. For several years now, many presenters have been using the ritual of saying goodbye to their last name, resorting to the help of an ordinary balloon filled with helium. The bride signs her name for the last time and releases the ball into the sky. The groom also does not have to stand aside; he can release a ball into the heavens, symbolizing his bachelor life. However, now this ritual is approached more carefully. And in order to surprise the guests, and so that the photographs are successful and beautiful, in advance, in the laser processing workshop, three-dimensional letters are ordered - the bride’s surname, to which bundles of balloons will then be attached to carry it into the sky. If it is not possible to make three-dimensional letters, you can seal this surname in an envelope, having first written it on a beautiful piece of paper.
Sending the family sailing. We live on the banks of the wonderful Kama River. If your wedding is taking place on a pier or just in close proximity to a body of water, you can call all the guests to the shore and make a whole show out of this ritual. First you need to take a bottle and put a message in it, which will contain only one word - your maiden name. Of course, you can send to the depths everything that you would like to say goodbye to forever; write together with your fiance on pieces of paper everything that symbolizes your former life, put down the bottle in order to start your family life from scratch. You can take, say, a boat, and go on a short voyage on it, so that the name in the bottle sinks deeper. As a result, this ritual will not become just another competition during the evening, but a truly important, touching moment that will help you realize the seriousness of your joint decision.
Contact our agency and we will tell you where you can order the details for this ritual, as well as suggest other interesting ways to say goodbye to your family name.

Today we have gathered here to celebrate the most important and joyful, most significant event in the lives of our newlyweds. Today Sergey and Sveta are setting off on their first, long, joint journey on the ship of love, called “Sergey + Sveta,” across countries in search of the key to happiness from the castle of love.
Very soon will you or your friend move from the category of an enviable bride to the status of a wife? Then don’t forget to say goodbye to your carefree girlhood and celebrate well that you and your loved one will finally exchange vows of fidelity and live happily ever after. We have five ideas on how to turn your bachelorette party from banal, boring gatherings into a celebration.
shutr.bz1. Unusual place for a party
The first point is choosing a place to celebrate. Oh, there are a lot of options here, from the living room of your home to even the observation deck of the Statue of Liberty. Whatever your soul desires can be made into reality. Choose your favorite place of leisure or one you have dreamed of visiting for a long time. The main thing is to have fun, because you have to have a blast!
2. Theme party
A party of princesses, mermaids, Minnie Mouse, cats and other characters that the bride loves is a super idea. Modern printing and other branches of design make it possible to turn even a study into a stylized miracle room for a themed party. You can even cover the walls with photographs of the bride, where she is captured from the funniest angles, and remember the circumstances under which the photographs were taken.
Quest party is a new trend. Bridesmaids should prepare challenges for the bride in advance. For example: “Do you want me to give you my almost brand new handbag from the latest Chanel collection in exchange for your ring?” or “Give me ten reasons why your future husband is better than David Beckham.”
3. Costume dress code
You definitely need to think about the dress code. The previous two points will be decisive when choosing it. For example, a pajama party wouldn’t be complete without a pillow fight, which means the clothes should be appropriate: cute pajamas and nightgowns.
A Hawaiian party will be fun and energetic if its participants not only dance to fiery tunes and drink cocktails, but also wear Hawaiian wreaths, colorful sundresses and colorful jewelry.
You can choose the color scheme of the event, which does not necessarily have to match the color of the upcoming wedding. Or, for example, the bride in white, and the guests in black outfits. A cool idea is to order a uniform for each party participant. T-shirts or T-shirts with cute statuses written on them, something like: the funniest bridesmaid, the smartest bridesmaid, the most beautiful bridesmaid, the conscience of the bride, the bride's adviser, the best friend, the bride's security, the bride's bouquet will be mine, I'm next. And the bride can show off in clothes with the inscription: one leg married, last day of freedom, the most beautiful bride, goodbye, maiden name, enviable bride, getting married for love, getting married, the bride is the leader of the gang.
A veil can be prepared not only for the wedding itself, but also for a bachelorette party.
A veil can be prepared not only for the wedding itself, but also for a bachelorette party
Moreover, it can be of any color. And not only the bride, but also the guests can wear a veil, but the bridesmaids should not show off more than the hero of the occasion, so as not to overshadow her special status.
shutr.bz Everyone loves jeans, so why not wear them to a party? It will be interesting if the bridesmaids wear jeans of similar colors, and the bride wears denim shorts or a skirt.
When getting married, the bride not only becomes a legal wife, but also, if desired, receives her husband's surname. In this case, you need to say goodbye to your already so familiar one. You can write your maiden name on a piece of paper, attach it to balloons filled with helium, and send it into the sky.
For a more impressive farewell, the surname can be made from balloons or carved out of wood. By the way, the profession of a life partner can also be symbolic for such a farewell. For example, a sailor's future wife can throw a bottle into the sea, in which there will be a leaf with her last name, a builder's chosen one can write her last name on a brick and save it in order to embed it in the foundation of her future home, and in five minutes the musician's wife can even sing a song, where a change of surname is mentioned.
shutr.bz 5. Four gifts
Everyone loves gifts. From the West, the tradition came to us of giving four gifts at a bachelorette party: new, old, borrowed and blue.
- New symbolizes that a new life is coming, which is full of surprises and gifts.
- The old is a symbol of connection with the past, because we should not forget about the friends who were in first place before the appearance of our beloved groom in life.
- Borrowed means that the bride can always turn for help to someone who gives her to use a thing or object.
- Blue color is a symbol of loyalty and devotion, so everything is clear with this.
Take preparations for your bachelorette party seriously, and then it will remain in your memory for as long as the upcoming wedding.
Farewell ceremony with a maiden name Farewell ceremony with a maiden name is a beautiful and, at the same time, simple ritual that can be performed in various ways. For many brides, this ritual becomes not so much a routine wedding competition, but an awareness of impending changes in their personal lives. But depending on how and where you plan to carry out this ritual, you can make it romantic or humorous. Now about the details... When can we say goodbye? Many of the brides are ready to say goodbye to their maiden name at the bachelorette party, after the bride price or immediately after the wedding ceremony, without moving far from the doors of the registry office. Patient people can perform the ritual at the very end of the gala evening. How to celebrate “Farewell to your maiden name”? The meaning of the ritual is very clear: the bride symbolically says goodbye to her past, free life, and for this she needs to “let go” of her old surname. Of course, it is logical to carry out this ritual when the bride takes her husband’s surname. Here it will be important to carry out this ceremony not in dull silence, but still to prepare a touching, or, conversely, cheerful farewell speech-oath. For example, like this: I, (full name), solemnly say goodbye to my maiden name (last name is called). I promise to always honor and remember her, no matter what happens in my life. In the name of my happy family life, I undertake not to return to my old surname under any circumstances. Or this: I, (full name), being here today of sound mind and solid memory, make this decision. I say goodbye to my maiden name - (last name) and pledge, despite all the hardships and hardships of family life, to proudly bear my new last name. I swear to care for her and cherish her, not to disgrace her and to wear her with honor. Honestly, most honestly! I swear! Or this touching option: Dear Mom and Dad! My dears, my dears, Only recently I was a baby. They raised me, sang songs, When I was sick, they didn’t sleep at night. Then you took me to school, I wrote out the sticks in the notebook and read my first books - And you also experienced childhood. I somehow imperceptibly grew up, And you didn’t even have time to look back, And now I became a bride, Dreams and dreams have now become a reality. We cannot change the law of life, Children cannot live with their mother forever. Now I walk through life with my husband, And at the solemn hour I remind you, How much I love you, you yourself know. I say goodbye to my last name, not to you!” The ceremony of “farewell to the surname” associated with water - Boat The bride prepares a boat in advance. And here, in general, it doesn’t matter what it is: paper or wood, small or large. The main thing you need to do is write your old maiden name on the sail of your boat and set it free to sail. Ideal for a wedding by the sea or river. - Last name “in a bottle” After the wedding, champagne is usually uncorked. Don't throw away the bottle - use it for your wedding ritual of saying goodbye to your maiden name. Everything is extremely simple - take a piece of paper, write your maiden name on it, fold the piece of paper and seal it in a bottle. And we immerse the bottle itself into the “abyss of the sea” or into any other body of water that comes across on your wedding route. Both options are good because they do not require any costs. But, in the case of a bottle, you will also have to think about the environment. The ritual of “farewell to the surname” associated with fire Since ancient times, people believed that fire could cleanse and regenerate. And even today the flame retains some special magic for us. So it is not surprising that some brides associate the farewell ceremony with their maiden name with fire. The ritual is no more complicated than the previous two. The bride takes a piece of paper, writes her last name on it and then burns it. At the same time, you can burn everything that you would like to say goodbye to before starting a new family life, leaving only the best in your new family. The ceremony of “farewell to the surname” associated with air - Chinese lanterns Who among us has not seen how quickly the small lights of Chinese lanterns fly into the sky during the holidays? Beautiful, romantic and at the same time accessible. All you need is a Chinese lantern (or better yet, several) and a marker. The bride, to the stormy applause of the guests, writes her last name on a lantern and, with the support of the groom, launches her maiden name into the sky. Of course, it is better to carry out such a ritual in the evening and in calm weather. - Balloons Perhaps the most popular embodiment of the ceremony of farewell to a maiden name is its launch into the sky in hot air balloons. But even here you will find many options for implementing this idea. From budget solutions, when the bride seals her last name in a postal envelope and signs her old last name on it, to quite expensive three-dimensional letters that can be made by professionals and which are launched into the sky by many balloons. But in fact, if you really want to, you can quite easily and simply make such a garland with your own hands. - Let's burst?! If you are not ready to let go of your maiden name on all four sides, there is this option. You will need two balloons of different sizes. A package with the bride's new surname is placed in a small ball, or the new surname is simply written on a small ball. Now the small ball is placed inside the large ball. The balloons are inflated. The bride then writes her maiden name and signs it on a large balloon. The bride's task is to arrange it so that the balloon with her old surname simply bursts. But if the guests want a little fun, the task can be complicated - ask the groom to help his beloved get rid of the old surname, for example, without the help of hands. - Or... we'll eat! In this case, you will need small cakes, macaroons or chocolates. We write the letters of our maiden name with edible pencils and happily eat them. The only problem that may arise is if the bride’s last name turns out to be very long. I'll have to call my husband for help...
If after the wedding you are going to take your husband's surname, then at a bachelorette party You can arrange a ceremony of farewell to your maiden name. For your bachelorette party, arrange a cheerful and playful ceremony or, conversely, a very sad and lyrical ceremony. It all depends on the style of the bachelorette party and, of course, your imagination.
Outdoors
If you are planning to have a bachelorette party outdoors, choose a place next to a pond. For example, you can send a small paper boat on a free voyage, on which you write your maiden name.
Another great option is to throw a bottle into the sea or river, into which you put a solemn farewell to your maiden name written on paper. An approximate farewell text could, for example, be like this: “Today I solemnly say goodbye to my maiden name. I promise to always respect and remember her, no matter what happens. In the name of my future family happiness, I undertake not to return her under any circumstances.”
At home
If you decide to say goodbye to your maiden name at home, make small candles in the shape of all the letters. As soon as it gets dark, solemnly light them and wait until they burn out completely.
At this time, you and your friends can hold some competitions, sing your favorite song or have a tea party. If you don't have enough time to make candles, just scratch your maiden name on any regular candle.
Balloons
Wherever you decide to have your bachelorette party, you can always go outside and release balloons into the clouds. The main thing is to remember to write the letters of your maiden name on each of them.
As you can see, there are a lot of options. Here everything depends only on your imagination and ingenuity. We can only wish the bride a fun bachelorette party and a bright and colorful wedding!
