I want to put my monogram stitched into my gown as my something blue but here is my question. Do I put my maiden name or my soon to be initials?

    Traditionally you don't do anything with you and FI's new monogram until you're actually married, so it doesn't belong on invitations, aisle runners, etc.  So if you wanted to stitch initials into your gown, you would probably use your maiden name.

    You could also just get your wedding date stitched. I have seen that before.

    This! What a beautiful idea. Initials on a dress are kind of weird, like you think someone will steal it or mistake it as theirs. It reminds me too much of my gym clothes in middle school :p.
