Wedding gown label question

KJDOHERTY

I'm thinking about getting a wedding gown label as a gift for a friend.  Two questions:(1) do you have an etsy seller or website you'd recommend? (etsy seller ljoembroidery looks nice)(2) If I'm doing one with a monogram, should I use the bride's maiden monogram or her married monogram? Not sure if the married monogram is considered bad luck since she'll have the gown on before they're actually married. Silly question I know,...Thanks!

I got one and I had my new married monogram with my wedding date and I got mine from J Crew in blue, so that was my something blue. I love it!

I got mine from [url]http://www.thegartermaker.net/catalog.php?category=31[/url] and it turned out perfect. It came in in about a week after I ordered it. You should to the Brides first initial, the initial of her new married last name, and the grooms first initial in that order.

Here is what I found when I researched etiquette online: During the wedding ceremny: This is still a gray area for some, but I say if you want to use your married monogram, go for it! The married monogram is a visual symbol of two people joining as one... so I personally feel the wedding ceremony is a perfect time to begin using your new monogram on anything from aisle runners, unity candles, programs, dress label etc. Also anytime you do a "modern" monogram which is the bride initail to the left and grooms initial to the right with the last name initial bigger in the middle the ladies name ALWAYS goes first. I do have to say that my mother is very etiquette crazy and she is appaulded by the "modern" monogram. She thinks it is inproper and tacky and other older ladies I know feel the same way. I do not feel that strongly against it but just and FYI that old traditionalist do not approve of it. The old tration is all linens go in the Brides new married initails (which is brides first name, new married last name in the middle and then maiden name to the right) and all glassware is in the grooms just to give you old etiquette again the new modern monogram does not bother me, I just wanted to tell you that.
