   You may certainly have things monogrammed -- in your maiden name initials. Typically, actually, all monogrammed things (sheets, towels, etc) were monogrammed in the bride's maiden name anyway. But if you do not change your name, no, you cannot have a married monogram, because a married monogram is based on the husband and…

   Am I weird because I never realized that this type of monogram: aDj, was man's first, last, woman's first? I honestly always thought it was first, MIDDLE, last or first, LAST, middle, and I always thought both of those options were incredibly weird. It makes so much more sense now. To your question, OP, if you don't…

   Oh, I don't have any official source like the dictionary. I didn't look in the dictionary, I'm just talking about what the general consensus/opinion seems to be. This is all stuff that has evolved over such a long time, sometimes I don't know if there's even one right answer today anyway. Here's some random examples…

   I don't even know if this is etiquette, but I'm wondering about what is proper or acceptable. Not that it even matters- it might be a "do whatever the hell you want". I haven't decided yet whether or not I will change my name. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to decide. I'm wondering, if I don't legally change my last…

   I got wedding stationery with my maiden name on it. Truthfully, it doesn't much matter. Nobody cares what you write your thank you notes on as long as it's pretty. I'm not planning on changing my name.

   Also... I was always under the impression that "mrs" is a married woman, whether or not she changes her name. That's how the women I've know who kept their names handled it. ---—------—------—------—------—------—------—------—------—------—------—------—--- ETA- I looked up the definitions and only saw that mrs is a title…

   If you aren't sure about changing your name, don't register for anything monogrammed.

   If you don't change your name, I wouldn't consider you Mrs. John Doe. If you want monogrammed stuff what about a 2 letter monogram with each of your first initials.
