All About Monograms!

Anyone who who has ever met me knows that I have a small (okay it's actually very large) obsession with all things monogrammed. (I am even having a Monograms and Mimosa shower in a few weeks!) I would probably monogram my underwear if that was a possibility! Ha! When it came time to come up with a motif to use throughout the wedding, I just knew it had to be a monogram!

I know that you aren't technically supposed to use your new married monogram until the reception, so I created two monograms with the same font to use on many, many things for the wedding!

I am not very computer savvy, so I Googled "how to make a monogram," and found an easy way to make them on Power Point. I didn't need anything fancy so this worked great for me. I found the monogram font I wanted online, downloaded it, made the monogram, and saved it as a picture file. Very easy!

This is the two letter monogram that uses the first letters of our first names (Molly and Joe.)

I am using this monogram on the invitation, the cover of the ceremony program, and it was used on stickers that sealed our Save the Date envelopes. Here is a little sneak peak of my gorgeous invitations (I'll make a whole post about them once they go out in the mail in April):

I then made a traditional 3 letter monogram that will be used on everything else such as a painting that will hang inside The Duncan Estate, favor stickers, and thank you notes, etc. Here is that monogram:

There are a lot of blank walls in The Duncan Estate and walls with pictures that I would rather take down, so I decided to paint our monogram on a huge canvas that I could hang up at the reception (and am going to hang it in our bedroom afterwards.) Here it is!

I would love to use the monogram in other ways at the reception, so if anyone has any ideas...I would LOVE to hear them or see examples of things you did at your own wedding!
