The
Original Name Change Kit Features
What makes the Original the Best? How about countless features
that other kits don't offer. Here are just few of the added
bonuses you receive when you choose the Original Name Change
Kit for Brides (The Wedding Helpers' kit features in blue)
over a competitive product (competitive drawbacks in green).
Complete
System
Our Kit is more than a kit; it is a complete system of bride
name change and groom
change of marital status notification. Other copy-cat
kit producers are not experts in the system of bride name
change- its organization, process and implementation; they
are simply "forms" suppliers!
Step-by-Step
Instructions
The Name Change Kit for Brides by The Wedding helpers has
nearly 14 pages of detailed instructions. Whom to notify,
when and where. Other kits instructions are over simplified
to where a bride's name change
is not complete - she only thinks that it is!
Additional Tips
Our kit offers additional tips, in writing, for each stage
of the name change and change
of marital status process, including "How to obtain
Certified Copies of the Marriage License", "What
order in which to notify," "What specific criteria
each agency or group needs to verify marriage" and
so many more! Other copy cats do not do give tips for time-saving
short-cuts.
Computer
Fillable and/or Printable Forms
The Name Change Kit for Brides
by The Wedding Helpers offers complimentary governmental
forms including Social Security, Multiple Passport, IRS,
Department of Elections, Immigration, Post Office, etc,
in three forms. Our kit provides these forms in hard copy
for completion by hand, printable in case multiple copies
are needed, and computer fillable for easy completion.
Copy
cat kits only supply a few government forms. If the copy
cat kit is without software, then what does a bride do if
they make a mistake on a form? Government forms should not
be whited-out or include strike overs. If the copy-cat kit
includes software, the forms are usually not computer fillable
like our kit - printable only!
Recipient-specific
form letters
Computer or hand fillable templated recipient specific form
letters- Banks, Doctors, Credit Cards, Credit Bureau, Insurances,
Schools Attended, Lawyer, Doctors, Medical Records, Accountant,
Banks, Utilities, Landlord or Lender, Clubs/Memberships/Associations,
and more. Even forms for the groom to help with his change
of marital status notification. Each form is specific to
the recipient! Our "recipient specific" forms
bring a state and locally specific continuity to the name
change or change of marital status notification process.
Other kits are too generic!
For
example a templated "insurance" name change notification
form allows the bride to select what kind of insurance,
type in or write in the customer/policy number, and uses
entry fields specific to "insurance" companies.
The same is true for other recipients, banks, doctors, etc,
- fillable forms fields are specific to the recipient.
Copy-cat kits usually only have one poorly constructed print
out general form. This "generic" form is not "recipient
specific". The bride's task is made more difficult
as a generic form become her " master copy", which
means she must first copy the blank "master copy"
over and over again, then fill out each copy one at a time
for each group. Also, a "generic" form is such
that the bride modifies it to suit the recipient. A frustrating
waste of time!
Other
kits - throw forms in a box or include a few forms on a
CD. Leaving the bride without a complete name change notification
and with the false assumption that their notification work
is done. Providing no organizational tools, just forms without
complete instructions and no kit offer to the bride consumer
to advance questions via e-mail or toll free number to kit's
customer service. No customer service is offered before
or after purchase. Copy-cats simply want to sell the forms,
after that it's the bride's problem to sort out.
Notification Postcards
Our kit includes fillable postcards to address groups or
individuals who do not need a "letter of name change
notification" or proof of marriage. These postcards,
fillable by computer or hand, are also helpful in groom's
name change notification. Postcards can come in very
handy to notify the postman, newspaper boy, general home
delivery services, work-related vendors and suppliers, pet's
groomer or veterinarian, home owners association, etc. Other
copy-cat kits do not include computer or even printable
and hand fillable postcards essential in bride
name change and groom
change of marital status notification.
Contact
Databases
The Name Change Kit for Brides
by The Wedding Helpers offers thousands of name change or
change of marital status related telephone numbers, e-mail
addresses, mailing addressed, web links etc are include
in our bride name change CD- compiled by full and part-time
researchers. Copy-cat kits without software throw a few
forms in a box, but due to the nature of "print only"
can not include such voluminous information. Copy-cat kits
with software limit the name change notification to a few
steps, misleading the bride by furnishing an incomplete
name change notification and do not include contact databases
as we do.
Multi-media
Bride Name Change Tutorials
Such teaching presentations as "How to Fill out Governmental
Forms" and other pertinent tutorials (narrated and
presented in Flash) are included in our kit. For example
in our "Filling out forms" presentation, we provide
information on the weight of the paper brides will need
to print their forms onto. Paper color restrictions. Type
font color and size restrictions, etc. All pertinent information
for the bride to consider. Other copy-cat kits with software,
do not offer multi-media teaching presentations. They are
"forms sellers" not bride name change educators.
The
Name Change Kit Planner
Our kit includes a hardcopy of this planner- organizer.
It is a purse size planner organizer that includes "multiple
recipient specific" checklists for each stage of the
name change or change of marital status process and correlates
to our www.namechangekittracker.com bride
name change personal web space and tracking tool and
our CD software. Copy-cat kits may include a "generic"
form that may be printed or used as a master copy for printing.
The form will simply be that of multiple lines with check
boxes and no organizer in which to associate the pages.
Scattered blank pieces of paper with no relationship to
the process of name or recipient tracking is all the other
copy cat kits provide.
Personalized Kits
Each Name Change Kit for Brides
by The Wedding helpers is filled specifically for a particular
customer by our own fulfillment staff. Copy-cat kit producers
do not specifically fill each kit for each customer, but
mass produce, even outsource.
Easy-to-Use
Software
Our CD Software is "quality assurance" checked
on multiple systems by our designers, replicators and in
house name change helper staff. Copy cat kits with CD are
"forms sellers" only!
Change
of Martial Status
If you are a bride planning to NOT change
your last name upon marriage, the Original Name Change
Kit by The Wedding Helpers is the first and only service
to provide information on marital status notification for
brides and grooms. This notification of change in marital
status is vital and should be done even if a last name is
not being changed.
On-staff
Researchers
Serving brides and grooms throughout the United States,
the Original Name Change Kit by the Wedding Helpers is the
only company with on-staff researchers to ensure that all
national, state and local data is as up-to-date and accurate
as possible. Our kit has been refined over the years to
accommodate the bride as to functionality and organizational
need. As our wedding educators work with brides face to
face, they can make our kit more up-to-date and relevant
to current bridal need and thought. Our designers, programmers,
researchers and bride name change
support staff contribute to the betterment of the kit each
year. Copy-cat kits producers are just "forms sellers"
and are not working with brides and grooms daily (probably
not even in the wedding industry or are educators or research
professionals, or employee a support staff), distanced from
current bridal needs relative to name change - simply "forms
sellers". Anyone can collect forms and then throw them
in a box or have them put on a CD! Bridal
name change and groom change of marital status is a
process and a system, much more than filling out a few forms.
Minor/Children Updates
The Original Name Change Kit by The Wedding Helpers is the
first and only kit to provide information on notifying the
proper agencies, companies and individuals of a change in
marital status for a child's parent.
General
Notification Cards
Brides choosing the Original Name Change Kit are provided
general notification cards in order to easily notify all
non-government related business, such as doctors or creditors,
of a name change.
Tech
Support
The Original Name Change Kit's expert support staff is always
available to answer questions and help customers better
understand name change forms, our proprietary tracking software
and the name change process. Our kit comes with a toll-free
number in which a bride might ask her name change related
questions or a groom his name change notification questions.
Our bride name change helpers assist with basic questions
by phone or e-mail. Copy-cat kits provide no such assistance
- they are "forms sellers", only. If the copy-cat
kit includes a CD, then no tech support is included with
their software kit or a name change helper support staff
to answer name change related questions.
Groom Name Change Forms
The Original Name Change Kit is the first and only name
change service to provide information on both bride and
groom name changes.
Additional
Forms
The Original Name Change
Kit offers more name change forms for brides or grooms
with special circumstances, such as minor children or change
in marital status only, than other competitive products
available today. Our kit and its CD, includes other important
miscellaneous information helpful in bride
name change or change
of marital status notification. Copy-cat kits are "forms
sellers" only and not trained in the official things
associated with getting married.
Extensive
Vital Records and Marriage License Data
Due to its longevity in the market, the Original Name Change
Kit offers data from more vital records and marriage licenses
facilities from around the United States than other products.
Name
Change Tracker
Only the Original Name Change Kit
for Brides offers an online tracking program that allows
you to see the progress of your name change form submissions
online and in real-time. This secure bride and groom name

and groom chart the progress of their notifications, but

groom. Bride and groom can keep communicate in spaces provided
when sharing the task of name change or change of marital
