Married Woman (example 1)  The correct way for a married woman to use her initials if they are all the SAME SIZE would be to use her first name, maiden name, and married name (in that order). For instance, if her name is Trisha Burda Parrish the monogram would look like:

TBP

Married Woman (example 2)   If you are using the traditional monogram style where the CENTER INITIAL IS LARGER, then the initial order should be first name initial, LARGER married last name initial, and maiden name inital. So, the monogram for Kimberly Murphy Hurley would look like this:

KHM

Married Couple:  When you want to use a married couple's monogram, you include both the husband and wife's initials. The correct order is to use the woman's first name inital, LARGER married last name initial, then the man's first name initial.  Note: the woman's initial always goes first. For the monogram of  Helen and Ed Carter it would look like:
