What is the Proper Monogram for Married Couples?

Monograms are elegant motifs using initials. These wedding details stand out to your guest and symbolize the unity of the spouses as they begin their journey as one.

Monograms can be extravagant or take on a more traditional minimalist design. Monograms aren’t just for embroidered clothing anymore, here are some unique designs and ways to incorporate your monogram in unique ways! They are another keepsake that is meant to symbolize your unity.

Couple Monograms

Personalizing your wedding celebration will bring that connection and touch of elegance to your celebration. You can get creative with your spouse by selecting your initials and crafting them on linens, invitations, programs, menu’s, seating charts, reception drinkware, and much more.  

Traditionally the bride will take the groom's last name after taking their vows, so in creating a classic monogram, the bride's first name initial appears first, followed by the groom's surname, and finally, the groom's first initial.

·  For instance: Elena Yvette Gilbert and Jeremy William Gilbert
· The joint monogram is EGJ, with the center letter slightly larger than the rest.

Types of Monograms

From a minimalist, classical, or contemporary design, a customized monogram can capture much more than your initials, it can capture your bond. Typically, a more traditional wedding has a monogram with letters of equal size, but if you are a bit bolder another sophisticated design would highlight the center letter with a distinctive style and/or size.

For initials of the same size, arrange the letters sequentially, starting from the first, middle then the last. If the middle letter is larger, begin with the first, last, and finally, the middle initial. There is always room for creativity, but keeping a recognizable structure will ensure the design stands the test of time.
