Hello fellow Oh So Beautiful Paper readers! I'm so excited that Nole invited me to guest blog while she's away on a little Spring Break – I rarely get to focus just on pretty paper things on Snippet & Ink, so I'm thrilled to share some of my favorites with you this week…
Personally, I love monograms, but I think for a lot of people, the word "monogram" probably conjures up images of preppy sweaters, vintage hankies, and fussy silverware. But these days, there are so many options out there, anyone can find a monogram to fit their personal style. Here are some of my favorites…
Brides Chicago printed an article featuring some clever and creative monograms. I especially love the kitschy cross-stitch one by Hello! Lucky. In case you can't read the designers' names, clockwise from the top left: Pica Press, Hello! Lucky, Bird and Banner, Peculiar Pair Press, Paper + Cup, Carrot & Stick Press, Cheree Berry Paper, and Ceci New York. {via Hello! Lucky}
How about a wedding logo instead of just a monogram? I love this idea, and I love the ones that the ladies at Ice Cream Social create.
But, then again, there's something to be said for a simple, traditional monogram. Especially when you can stamp it into a wax seal, or even shortbread cookies! {via The Bride's Guide}
Are you incorporating a monogram into your wedding stationery? Or your registry? Or looking for something perfect to reflect your own personal style? What monograms have you found that you just love?
I have never been a monogram-type girl in the traditional sense but I have always loved playing with my initials and dates and putting things together I guess into my own “logos”. Some of these are particularly creative, I especially like the cookie stampers. Thank you for sharing!
We did something creative with our monogram — it’s a campaign logo instead! Since we’re huge political nerds, we decided to go electoral for our wedding – colors are blue and red, and twists on the campaign theme will be found throughout our invitation suite and decor.

wonderful post! I love the cross-stitch ones.
I love monograms! I’d love to do a wedding logo, but we’ve decided to just use a single-letter monogram on our invites (we’re not superstitious!), and on wax seals on the programs and favors.
Great post … and love the creative twists on monograms … so refreshing, modern but traditional.
