I’m looking into getting a pretty vintage handkerchief for the wedding, to carry with my bouquet. I know I will cry, might as well have something pretty to wipe the tears with, lol. I’m seeing a lot of monogrammed ones, and I like that, but I don’t know what would be more appropriate.. my own initial (first name I guess) or last initial.. of my Fiance and what my new name will be.. best thing to do?
I like putting his last initial on there but I wasn’t sure since technically we wouldnt be married just yet.. well after ceremony.. am i thinking into it too much? lol

Hmmm. That’s an interesting point. I never really thought about it. Technically if it’s for the ceremony and you aren’t married yet I guess it would just be your initials. But it’s also something you are getting to commemorate the day that you could pass down and it would be nice to have your wedded monogram on it. I guess it would just be a personal choice.

@Cotton: Thanks for your input. I’ll have to think about that a little more. I will get it especially for that day, to commemorate our wedding day, so I was going to get what will be my new last initial, but I might just get an “A” for my first name. But that doesn’t have much to do with us.. lol idk

I’d put my new inital on it since that is my new life and new name. Think that would be really sweet. To keep a bit of yourself in it you could do your three initials.

Honestly don’t analyze it so much. If you’re taking his name why would you have your current initials? My garter has my new initials on it. I think thats what you should have too, if not both then the last one definitely

Why not get a handkerchief for the wedding and then have it monogrammed with your new initials after?

Mine looks similar to this.. Except where it says “Mom”, mine has my initial with two super small flowers on each side.
