Q: I love the way you use watermark monograms on several of your invitation designs! I am considering having one on my own wedding invitation, but I’ve heard that it isn’t appropriate to use the initial of my fiancé’s last name prior to the wedding ceremony. What should I do?

A: Brides often wonder if it is considered bad etiquette (or even bad luck!) to use the new married initial prior to saying “i do.” While traditional etiquette does consider the use of the bride’s new last name taboo until the vows have been read, we tend to disagree!

In fact, one of our most frequently requested designs is the watermark monogram, which features a beautiful single initial behind the bolder text of the invite. The use of this design element is quite subtle, yet adds a striking level of sophistication that has made it increasingly popular with brides.

Since the purpose of the wedding is to celebrate the union of the bride and groom, we find it perfectly acceptable to use the couple’s future shared last name as a backdrop to the formal wedding invitation. After all, it IS the groom’s current last name, and the bride’s maiden name will be prominently listed on the invitation as well. We think incorporating the monogram as a design element in the wedding stationery is a lovely way to celebrate the upcoming union!

Of course, if you decide the watermark monogram isn’t for you, there are alternative ways to use monogramming! The bride and groom’s first initials can be used alone for pre-wedding printing – and transformed with the addition of the new, shared last name for post-wedding/reception décor. You can check out some of the infinite monogram possibilities here in our monogram style gallery for inspiration – or let us know how you’d like to see your monogram!
