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
Learned so much I didn’t realize it was different for couples and all!
Thanks for the info on married couples! Now I can monogram the whole house!
Glad this information is listed on the site. Many sites don’t list it and not everyone knows. I didn’t know I could keep my maiden name!
Wow I love it! I literally had no idea, but it makes me excited to order more stuff now that I know the order they should go!
I had no idea you could monogram with your madden and married initials.
