Ordering Monogram Cake Toppers
You’ve decided not to go with a classic bride and groom cake topper for your wedding — maybe it’s just too bland for you, or you enjoy breaking away from the norm. Although there are lots of topper options out there, some are just too silly for a dignified wedding. If you want a centerpiece that will bring gasps of “how elegant!” from your guests, look into monogram cake toppers as the perfect option to top off your wedding cake.
The clear option for content for your cake topper is to use the initial of what will soon be the bride and groom’s shared last name. However, if you’re more partial to your own initial, or you want more than one on top, you can go with multiple letters.
When picking your cake topper, be sure to consult with whoever is creating your wedding cake to be sure the color you’ve chosen won’t contrast with the way they plan to decorate. Neutral colors that will go with just about any decorating scheme are silver, white, and black; gold and brown also go with most other colors. If you can, coordinate with the cake-maker to pick your topper, so they will have it ahead of time and can put it on themselves.
You can choose to have your monogram cake topper inlaid with shiny rhinestones and crystals. This adds extra sparkle to your topper, but may also cost you a bit more money.
Monogram wedding cake toppers come in every font imaginable. Elegance suggests a swirly, curvy font, something akin to cursive. But if that’s too snooty for your tastes, you can pick less formal lettering that will speak to your personality and preference.
Monogrammed cake toppers tend to run between $10 and $150, so there is one for every type of budget. Choose wisely, and you may be able to use it on your anniversary cake too!

I really like the monogram ideas. We are a DJ company in Michigan and have been doing more and more monogram projections at our event. I think it would be really cool if a couple combined both the monogram cake and the projector to keep the same theme throughout the venue.

So cute! I love the photos you included in your article. I remember last year, we did 2 weddings back to back that had the same initial cake topper (they were different letters, but the same font). No matter how simple or glam the cake topper is, it’s a reflection of your style. Thanks for sharing!

There are so many monogram cake toppers out there. I am so glad to see a well written article on this subject. This is an AMAZING resource for brides on how to order them. This also reminds me of monogram lights. If the bride is going to have a light with her name in it, then she can use the same font style and layout for both the light and cake topper. This creates a brand for the reception. Great article!!!
