Monogram

For all of you that have been following my blog, this comes as no surprise — I am not good about making a decision on anything stationery related! Fortunately, we've been working with Erik's cousin's best man, Chris, on our monogram and next will be working with him on the invitations and other stationery items.

The monogram was the first thing to accomplish because it will serve as our "theme" for the wedding. Some brides do "beach" weddings or "Tiffany's" weddings, I do letters. Yes, I'm boring and uncreative. This monogram will be on our invitations, thank you cards, programs, and favors. I can't wait to see the monogram printed on our paper (Chris said they are in the mail!). And let me just say, the monogram is FABULOUS!!!

Now, I want to give a shout out to Chris for ALL the hard work he did. It took several weeks, 60+ emails, 2 phone meetings, and 15 iterations to get this monogram. He worked really hard to translate my non-designer speak into changes to the design. It was much harder than I thought, especially since I didn't know what I wanted. I knew what I didn't want but, unfortunately for Chris, that was after he sent it to me! (He's trying to get into the wedding business, so I have his info for any of you ladies that are interested in personalizing your stuff). There still may need to be some tweaking once I see it on paper, but I LOVE IT (and Erik does too!—it was his idea to make the inner circle navy). Anyway, I thought it would be fun to show all of you all the iterations of the monogram in order. Enjoy!
