You see, the monograms I had made for myself were fine and all, but I really wanted to use something that reflected a little more personality.

My cousin, who is finishing up her college degree in fine arts and computer science, was the perfect person to ask for some help! Check it out:

The Chosen Monogram

Look familiar? This is the monogram I chose to put on our favors!

I’m really thankful for the wonderful job that she did! Aside from our favors, I’m planning on using the monogram on other wedding things like programs and thank-you notes, and I’m thinking about having some personal stationery made too!

How have you personalized your monogram/stationery? Do you plan on continuing to use your monogram even after the wedding?
