Couple's Monogram

If I were to make a monogram for a couple, what order do the letters go in?

H-husband W-Wife L-last name

I have read wLh but for some reason I was thinking hLw, what do you all think?

I'm thinking hLw but I dunno if that is official or not.

From left to right, wife's first initial, husband's last initial (larger than the other two), wife's maiden name initial.

I think I would just use one letter, the couple's last name.

I'm not really into monogram things myself.

I may do just the last initial because I don't want it to be wrong.

Be careful with monograms. The item becomes useless when they get a divorce. Just sayin'.

Well, it is for their wedding so I am going to be hopeful they will get some use out of it before that is a possibility. Plus, it is just a set of wine glasses, not a huge deal.

Sorry, that was just an attempt at humor. Monogrammed wine glasses would be nice.

I do think I will stick to just the last initial and do a set of four so it would be for entertaining instead of just the two of them.

Before I did monograms, I'd make sure the woman was going to change her last name. Otherwise, there might be some upset.

I think 4 is better, too. I don't understand getting 2, unless it's part of her registered pattern where others can add to the collection. Can't do much with two, except display them I guess, or toast each other on your anniversary. Then when one chips or breaks, you've got one.

Right, the only reason I thought of two was because I just made two for a couple but that was to use at their wedding. That is pretty much the reasoning I was using. For the most part we only use two glasses at a time because we don't entertain people at our place but they may. I have not met the husband and haven't seen the wife in probably 5+ years. She was a childhood friend and our families are friends. I wish I knew an image to put on the glasses instead of the monogram but I am not quite sure of a neutral image that would have wide appeal.

Someone gave us pretty Waterford glasses with hearts that are joined with a wedding ring. Again, only two, but I can blend them with my other Waterford glasses at dinner parties.

Is there anything on the invitation - a flower or something - that might give you a way to go? How traditional does the invitation seem? That may give you an idea if they would be upset by a traditional monogram.

I thought about doing linked double hearts but then I wondered if everyone would like that. Not everyone likes heart things. She is a country girl and I know she would like something Texas themed on it. He is from Maryland and only moved to Texas within the last year. I want to make sure to do something that both would like.

winds, pretty traditional wording, I would call the imaging maybe contemporary floral. Maroon which is bride's college color, she is a big fan so I don't think that is coincidental. hmmm, not sure if I get any better of a feel honestly.
