Is it not proper etiquette to do a monogram for a wedding shower cake? I'm thinking it might not be good, since they aren't yet married. What about just the initial of the last name-to-be?? I'm thinking about doing a monogram or single monogram for a shower cake, but not sure if this is proper. If it matters, the bride's new last name will start with the same letter as her maiden name.
thanks!
I don't know about the etiquette but I made a shower cake for a friend and just used their first initials. It is in my photos, the brown two tiered cake with the ivory royal icing flowers and the green initials on top.

It's somewhat frowned upon to use your couples monogram before you're actually married. So, your reception's clearly a green light, but you might want to skip using it on your invites. The ceremony itself is sort of a Ms. Manners gray area. Some brides uphold the spirit (if not the letter) of the "law" by including the monogram in a not-so-public ceremonial spot, such as a garter, or inside the dress.

So, etiquette wise, it's inappropriate to use the monogram with HIS initials before the ceremony, but you can do HER personal monogram (first initial, last, middle) for the shower.
