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?
I say use your first initials... I don't mean to sound rude or anything but come on how old are we?? Your initials are B & J - it is what it is... In general I don't think that wreath is supposed to have last name initials because traditionally, the bride takes the mans last name so why would you have two letters? You would have either one or three. I think it is for the first name initials... JMHO though...
I would do a regular monogram using FH's last name. Just because you don't plan on changing your name doesn't mean you can't use his initial.
I would use the first names... I think BJ is not a prob, but if it bugs you, flip them. I think you can do the monograms either way....

I saw smaller letters in AC Moore today. Maybe you could spell out your first names?
I would just use your 1st initials, if it really bothers you then switch the letters. It really shouldn't be a big deal. I also like the idea of including your date, maybe on the bottom, then your initals might not draw so much attention. I think it's really nice to have at the wedding, and a nice keepsake for afterwards.

Yeah but I'm keeping my maiden name.

Yeah but wouldn't that make them think I kept my last name? His grandmother will throw a fit if she finds out.
I would just put his name first...
