Wedding Monogram Information

With monograms as you can see they can be done in many different ways. You can use initials or full names, incorporate the grooms last name, include your wedding date. . .monograms are not what they used to be. Just an FYI you are not supposed to use the grooms last name on any monograms prior to the ceremony, since it is not your last name just yet. So a lot of times brides tend to have 2 monograms created. One for before ceremony use and one for after ceremony use. Also in this day and age not every woman plans to take her fiances last name and yes you too can have a monogram! You can use your monogram for just about anything.

Here I created a sticker to seal the invitations. Note how just the first initials were used here because we do not at this time share our last names.

I also created stickers for our favor boxes. Since the favors are given after the ceremony I was able to incorporate the new last name.

Now in creating monogram some information will be needed.

1. Names. . .your name and your fiances first and last name (if you would like your name or any children's names included please provide as well)
2. Colors. Now in order to get your colors right I need to be provided with a swatch. If you do not have swatches of your wedding colors already I suggest using this link. . . http://www.dessy.com/swatches-trims/
3. Theme. Is there a theme to your wedding that you would like to incorporate? Doves, garden, butterflies, martini, bling, palm trees, destination wedding, ect. . .
4. Date. If you would like to have your wedding date included please provide it to me.
5. Do you have a preference? Do you want full names, or just initials? Or if you like any previous work please reference, the more direction that I have from you the better chance you have of getting exactly what you were looking for.
