Okay I love this! I really want have one on the wall behind my FH and I. But here is the problem I'm keeping my maiden name, the FIL's dont know nor need too. I was thinking of using our first intials but my first name is bonnie and his is joe. You all under stand the whole BJ thing. If I reverse it, it will be JB but that might look too obvious that we switched it to that. And that might cause problems. What do I do? Should I use our first names or our last?
Yeah but wouldn't that make them think I kept my last name? His grandmother will throw a fit if she finds out.

Re: Girls advise PLEASE!
can you maybe add more leaves and not do initials or any letters? Or how about your date?

that might work. But do you think maybe the last names could work if we explain it or would that be too obvious?

Wow... if you feel that strongly about the first name thing... I don't think I would use the sign at all. SORRY JMHO

I saw smaller letters in AC Moore today. Maybe you could spell out your first names?

JMHO, it is no one's business but your own whether or not you choose to take his last name. Are you going to hide from his grandmother forever?
That's silly!
Love the wreath idea though. I would put his name first.

Re: Girls advise PLEASE!
well, considering that my initials were SM and no one ever noticed it, I'd say to go with BJ

If it makes you happy to use your first initials, then I say go for it. Anyone that knows both of you will know that it stands for your first names and not the dirty act.

Re: Girls advise PLEASE!

Im not even sure who's initial is supposed to be first on these things and probably most of your guests wont either...so cant you just switch it to JB

I think JB will be fine. Usually the guys name goes first anyway.
