Friday's Favorites: The New Initials

I love the idea of proudly displaying your new initials after the nuptials.   I know I will be so excited to rock my new, super Italian last name and initials.  My future mother in law had such a sweet idea.  She gave her daughter a monogrammed, gold necklace (similar to the one above) as her shower present.  That way, as soon as she got married she was able to wear it.  I absolutely love this idea!  It's so thoughtful and sweet.  My favorite version of the necklace is by Jennifer Miller.  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

    1. If you look at the link Sentrell provided:

      http://www.maxandchloe.com/West-Avenue-Jewelry

      They tell you that usually the last initial goes in the middle..but I guess you could do it anyway you wanted...

      So for your sister - if you wanted to do her 'new name' (presuming she is taking her husband's last name), you would have it as SNP...hope this helps - you should share a pic when you get it :) would love to see.. I am thinking about getting one for my wedding with my new name...

  16. just wanted to post, your credit for the bride with the necklace on doesnt have a link. this is actually a friend of mine, and she's been seeing her image EVERYWHERE on the web and on pinterest, but isn't getting any links or credit because it was taken off of her blog. The original pic can be found here: http://anniesvirtualcloset.blogspot.com/2010/12/hey-ladies-im-finally-making-comeback.html
