It’s official! You’ve said I do, tied the knot, and are ready to take on the world as husband and wife! All of the post-wedding bliss cannot come soon enough. But before the celebrations truly begin, there are always a few last minute tasks to be finalized. 

Although some brides opt to keep their maiden name for personal reasons — which is more than okay if you decide to go that route! — others do find a “change last name” on their post-wedding to-do list. Sometimes, this leads to the misconception that changing last names can be a stressful process, which is why Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts have teamed up with HitchSwitch® Name Change Service. This innovative, streamlined service is optional for Sandals and Beaches couples and only involves a few simple steps!
