Wedding Invitations

When using stationery to thank your guests for your wedding gifts, and if you are thinking of having your thank you cards personalized
with a monogram instead of your name, the proper way to do that is to make the middle initial larger than
the rest and is to stand for your last name.

The first initial is for the
first letter of your first name and the third is for the first letter
of your maiden name after you are married. Before you are married, the
third initial would be the first letter of your middle name. If you
have a name like McDonald, you can either use just the “M” or McD”
whichever you prefer. If you want to only use one letter as your
monogram, most prefer to use the initial representing their last name.

Monograms are used only on personalized wedding stationery and never on the wedding invitations themselves.
