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 offically have a Monogram obsession!!
I never really knew why the letters were in such a unique order! I have recently started to love monagrams and this makes me appreciate them a little more!
I had no idea about the order for a married couple!!!
I love that when it comes to monogramming, there are so many different and cool things you can do. My name is only 3 letters long so I could even do just mane or initials if I wanted to go the traditional route! 😍
Everything I own is monogrammed but I’m getting married in October so now I have to get all new stuff!! 😆
