Wedding Gift Inspiration - Monograms

The idea of a monogram, especially a personalized handmade one that looks like an heirloom, tugs on my sentimental heart. It would be special to have the monogram sewn into your gown, and then taken out afterward to frame or make a throw pillow with.

I wish I was even marginally able to do anything of the sort! In my case, I would beg my crafty friends to make me a pillow or, in desperation, I would take it to a local seamstress. But that is neither here nor there.

When I came across Etsy seller SaysYou, all preconceived notions of what a monogram was flew out of my head.

You can even skip the monogram and get an embroidered creature! Octopuses are so cool.
