Please Help Us Pick A Monogram

I would intermix #1 & #5. But I would actually remove the date from #5 and just use it as the monogram. I think #1 would look fantastic on the invitation flaps and the programs, and you could use #5 for the menu and napkins, or even etch them in votive holders, or matchboxes if you decide to do those.

I was going to say #1 and #5 too Maybe #1 for pre-wedding and ceremony stuff, then #5 for the reception (since technically you aren’t supposed to use your new monogram until after the ceremony- but I say whatever you want!)

I agree with Vanessa, you can pick two and use them for different things. My favorite is #1, but I think it would also be great if you had a separate “monogram only”.

I luuuuuuurve number 5!!! So elegant, simple, timeless, chic, gorge…and with a touch of retro.

#1 & #5 are my favorites. i voted for 5 because i feel like you could use this one for anything you want after the wedding too. #1 wouldn’t be as useful in the future and i love the idea of using your wedding monogram for the rest of your lives : )

I love # 5 - so art deco! And I would leave the date on, actually. I like # 1 as well, but I don’t know that I would mix them as others have suggested as the styles seem to be from very different time periods - 1920s art deco and… well, something else.

No. 6 is cute too - very Jane Austin book plate-ish!

I’d use 1 & 7 and maybe 5 too. Good point from Mrs. Tiramisu. I think that if you narrow it down to two or three… that you’ll be in perfect shape to have one on pre-ceremony items and 1 or 2 for reception decor.

Officially I voted for 8, because it’s my #1 favorite, but I also really liked 9 and 5.

I also did like 1, but I had to squint to actually see it. If you do decide to use that one, I recommend making it a little larger, if possible, so that the details can really be appreciated!

I liked 1 & 7! I like #1 for envelopes, programs, and photobooth pictures but #7 for any favor tags or napkins, maybe a runner.

1 and 5 are my favourites (I voted for 5). If it helps at all, I would say 1 is more traditional/romantic, whereas 5 is more modern/art deco.

I also agree that 5 is better without the date.

Also agree that you should choose 2 with similar styles and use them for different things. 5 is good for favors etc. 9 or 10 would be good as headers (e.g. on invitations, programs etc). 1 is a good all-rounder.

I think if it were me, I would use 1 for invitations, programs etc, and then use 5 (without date) at the actual reception. Maybe with a bit of editing to match the styles.

Hope that helps - great work on these by the way!

I like #5 because it is cleanest and will be the most forgiving to print. The others with complex filigree patterns are beautiful but might get muddled if they are not printed exactly perfectly.

I chose #1 because it has both names on it…..I like the borders around it.
