Monogramming is an art that we respect here at United Monograms. Sometimes people ask the question, why are those initials not in the right order? As the #1 Online Shop for Monograms- We are here to answer that question for you!
These people clearly need a little lesson in Monogram Etiquette. Since you know we love to monogram everything, here is the etiquette we go by when monogramming.
First Name, NEW LAST NAME, Maiden name (or middle name if you prefer). When a woman is married, a few things in the monogram world are up to her! She can ditch her middle name completely, and use her last name as her new middle name OR she can keep her middle name. This is your preference, or whichever you choose when you change your name! We think either one is acceptable! Example: If our friend Anne Marie Price married David Brown her monogram would be EITHER (option 1): aBp or (option 2): aBm
Bride's First Name, MARRIAGE LAST NAME, groom's first name. The reasoning for this one is easy, ladies first! Since Anne & David Brown are now happily married, their shared monogram would be: aBa
My favorite part was reading about the married couple and how you could do a shared monogram. That’s so neat. I have never heard of that before
I just ordered my second shirt from here on Wednesday, and I absolutely LOVE it. I can’t wait to get it in. The information here helped me understand why your initials are in the order that they are.
I love reading about etiquette!
This post is very informing and i appreciate it. Monogramming is adorable in all things and is makes any article of clothing 100000 percent better
Love micrograms. Especially as a married woman i love the concept of my last name appearing bigger because i take pride in my husbamd and what our marriage stands for
