Combining the first letter of the bride and groom’s names has become a classic staple of wedding stationery. Whether it’s intricate and fit for royalty or whimsical with modern twists, a custom monogram can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like it to be – and the best part is that it’s completely unique to you and your beloved. Utilize an experienced stationery service to personalize details or work closely with a professional stationer who can fully customize your paper goods to include other elements that are representative of you as a couple.
It’s ideal to first introduce your one-of-a-kind monogram in the save the date, then later have it prominently displayed within the wedding invitation suite. Most couples also emblazon the motif on their menu cards, seating chart, dance floor, and more. Be creative and even consider having it featured on ice cubes for cocktails or throw pillows at an after-party. Couples can also incorporate their special monogram long after the big day and use it throughout the home – embroidered on towels or special-occasion napkins.
A custom monogram or motif is definitely a detail to consider that’s worth the splurge. Be inspired by a few of our favorites below from talented couture stationers and online retailers, below:
