I like!! I LOOOOVE monograms and made one for my DIY aisle runner using fonts I downloaded. I''m thinking about using these too (but maybe not this exact style).

Ohh that is so shiny and pretty......were did u get those.

ha, sorry I didn't fully read your post, you were asking for advice! Sorry about that! My advice is to possibly do the monogram on the outside of the invite, possibly by having a flap or a part fold over? And them just do the pink border and do the usual "so and so are getting married" on the invite. And the bouquet jewelry was from this website here

ETA: or what if you used the monogram idea and have it fold where the top meets the bottom? (not like a card but more like a tri-fold that opens top to bottom). I'm unsuccessful finding a picture of it right now.

It is pretty, however wedding etiquette says to not use the married monogram prior to the ceremony.

I never heard of that! That''s our whole theme.

What about doing just first initials? or just a W?

Sad, but true:

I''ve seen some really awesome monograms using the first names or first name initials and wedding date. If I can find my favorite monogram sites, I''ll post it.

Eh, if you love this design/idea, I''d go for it - I don''t think this is a huge deal in terms of etiquette in the sense that no one is going to be inconvenienced or hurt by this, so if you like it (and the design is very pretty) I''d just go for it

If you like the monogram, I say who cares about etiquette? Heck, I''m doing much greater etiquette violations than this, and I don''t care! Do what makes you happy; it''s your wedding!

Sadly, I don''t have any useful or clever suggestions.  I just wanted to let you know that I thought that what you have achieved so far is very beautiful ...

Here are some links to invitation designers sites that I love to check out ... Maybe you might find some inspiration here???  Good luck!!

I am going to have to say I am going to trust the designer in that part meaning the etiquette isn''t going to ruin my monogram. Thanks Sparkalious for the web sites.
