Monogram Etiquette

Whose name/initial goes first?
Ladies first! The woman's name/initial always comes first on a monogram because the man's first name/initial should never be separated from his last name/initial.

When can we start using our married monogram?
Follow these simple rules:

  • Before the wedding ceremony: It's a big no-no to use your married monogram before you're actually married. So that means using a monogram with your new last name or intial on save-the-dates, invitations, thank you notes, etc. is taboo. Instead, use a monogram that has just your first initials or first names.
  • During the wedding ceremony: This is still a gray area for some, but if you want to use your married monogram, go for it! The married monogram is a visual symbol of two people joining as one... the wedding ceremony is a perfect time to begin using your new monogram on anything from aisle runners, unity candles, programs, etc.
  • After the wedding ceremony: Anything goes! Use your married monogram on anything you wish- the reception is a complete green light to display your new married monogram proudly be it on a table runner, menus, the cake, the dance floor, anything!
