When you have an SG monogram (or GS monogram) in a classic style, it’s the perfect decoration to an elegant wedding invitation or personal stationery. The curve of the S embraces the G, like an intertwined hug representing a new life together. One of the two initials is shaded to create a contrast between the two letters. In the past, a monogram for a couple might include the new couple’s shared last name. Many people still do that, but we more often see the couple using the starting letters of their first names. The result is something formal and classic combined with a contemporary meaning.
We have an extensive collection of item with this SG GS logo already ready to print. For flat-printed pieces please visit: GS Monogram or SG Monogram Collection. If you would like a different color, or custom prints in letterpress or foil, please contact us.
The wedding invitation below uses the SG Monogram (GS Monogram) as a decoration at the top of the invitation. In this case the monogram is printed in a gold color, but we also love to see monograms in a silver foil or a blue letterpress. In this invitation, Gayle and Stephen represent their new life together with this intertwined S and G.
Classic Personal Stationery
A monogram like this one is often used as a personal logo for notecards and thank you notes. The folded card below also makes a great gift for someone you know who loves writing actual notes that come in the mail. At Digby & Rose we always love receiving an actual card with a message from a loved one. In this logo, the S and G are still very readable and it’s easy to see what letters are being used.
An elegant letterpress notecard with an antique ML or LM monogram is a beautiful way to send a greeting on special personal stationery. The intertwined letterpress M and L are a retro style, reminiscent of a time when personalized notes would be sent between friends and family. We have this LM ML monogram available on regular flat printed notecards here: LM or ML Monogram Collection. For a letterpress ML LM notecard, please contact us for your custom project. We can do letterpress cards in any color, or print them in gold foil (or other colors of foil).
Custom monograms are also used on classic formal wedding invitations as a way of showing a couple’s new life together. The joined ML and LM letters are a symbol of new life together, and make for a classic decoration on traditional wedding invitations. Often the same custom monogram is used on other items for the couple like cocktail napkins and coasters for the wedding or engagement party. This invitation has an M and L monogram printed in gold, with formal wording for a Washington DC wedding. An invitation also looks great printed on eggshell cotton paper. We have also printed many monogram wedding invitations in gold foil or different colors of letterpress. Please contact us if you would like a custom print for your LM or ML monogram.
Although this ML LM monogram is printed in gold, we can do a design that prints the monogram in any color. If you would like a custom monogram for your wedding invitations or other events, just get in touch and we can personalize your invitations or stationery.
An EH or HE crest monogram on a wedding invitation or personal stationery looks great printed in gold, or your own signature color. A vintage monogram like this EH HE blends an old style with a modern version that allows the letters to be read without difficulty. When you need your own wedding logo, nothing is more personal than your initials as a representation of your new life together. For a custom order in letterpress or foil print, just contact us. For elegant flat prints of the logo you can order directly here: EH or HE Monogram Collection.
A retro H and E (or E and H!) monogram is a most traditional decoration and something that is used very often on traditional letterpress invitations. A flat print on thick eggshell paper like the invitation below is always an elegant way to celebrate your wedding. The same EH HE monogram can be used on other items like cocktail napkins for your engagement party, or coasters, favor boxes, and menus.
When it comes to person notes, a retro monogram like the one on this folded notecard will be appropriate for any situation, from a thank you note to a letter or other personal correspondence. It’s something to keep as your own personal stationery. We are happy to customize any monogrammed card with the addition of your name or other message.
