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
I had to learn all of this when I was getting married! Now I make some of my own things and its nice to know the etiquette of it all!
I never knew about the couple’s monogram – I’ve seen the groom’s initials just used for the monogram at weddings but I love the idea of using the two first names! That’s so cute!
I always knew the last name went in the middle but now understand how a couples monogram works. So cute!
I never knew most of the reasonings of how to monogram an item, now I know and will be using some of these on my next purchases !
Now I understand why the last name is the middle! I was thought I was weird but I get it now!!
