So, I’m obviously no graphic designer. That’s Cheeseburger Brother. Anything I make is done in PowerPoint. Yeah, that’s right - I’m really high-tech.

I started thinking hard about “branding” our wedding. It sounds silly, but really, it’s the one day in our lives that we get to make things all about us (within reason ,of course). An easy way to make even little things reflect a little bit of “you” is by creating a monogram.

I had seen lots of gorgeous monograms all over the internet - I even searched for programs that designed them for you. I came up short. That’s when I began experimenting with different free fonts in PowerPoint, and I came up with something that I kind of liked:

Actually, the longer I looked at it, the more and more I liked it. Even Burger liked it. I decided that I needed one in color too, and PowerPoint was happy to oblige:

Pretty simple, and yet the color really makes a big difference. You may remember this monogram from the water bottles that will be at the cocktail hour.

I decided to up the ante by adding our names and wedding date in a few different font combinations. I plan to use these designs on projects like the OOT boxes.

Are you using a monogram? Did you do it yourself or hire a pro?
