monogram etiquette
did you know there was such a thing? i certainly did not, but i have been educated.
apparently, you cannot use your 'married' monogram before the wedding, or anything featuring your names/initials as they will appear after the 'i do' part. this is bad luck. and offensive. and rude. i don't know, that's what poor etiquette implies to me. but in reality, i'm guessing that no one else knows a thing about monogram/name etiquette other than a few recently married friends and old traditional aunts who will whisper loudly upon seeing incorrect monogram usage.
since we have learned the ins and outs of when we can and cannot use certain sets of names and letters, we can now move forward, confident that we are following proper monogram etiquette. no one will be whispering about our sets of letters, nosir!
(inoffensive and polite, please and thank you. it makes it easy to just leave out initials or indications of last names altogether.)
