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
Very interesting to read about monogram etiquette. Love.
Thank you for posting this! Super informative for beginners and a great refresher course for monogram veterans 😜😂😊
Super helpful. I have a ton of monogrammed items and I sometimes STILL have to double check and make sure I’ve put my initials in the right order 🤷🏼♀️
That was so nice !! I loved it
Thanks so much for posting! I am a monogram junkie and I have friends ask about the etiquette all the time. Now I can just send them this post!
