Q: We would like to use a monogram on our wedding invitations but whose initials should be used?

A: Good question! I checked with several “etiquette” persons at the invitation printers and have gotten different answers. Most say that you should not use the groom’s last name initial since the couple is not yet married, although I have seen this done many times. I have seen couples use both their first name initials and the initials of the parents issuing the invitation are sometimes used. I personally like the idea of using the first name initials of the bride and groom.
