What is the proper etiquette for using a monogram?
According traditional etiquette, you shouldn’t use you married monogram (one that includes your new last name/initial) before the wedding. Instead, you could use a monogram with just your first initials or names for all your pre-wedding stationery (save the dates, invitations). But feel free to throw so called “proper” etiquette out the window! These days, it’s common to see a couple using their married monogram before the wedding, so do what you feel comfortable doing! Traditionally, the lady’s name should come first in the monogram. If you do not wish to follow this tradition, please mention it when placing your order.
