Post from Crafts board
. I feel so bad for the OP. I mean, I know as girls we say "oh she's just PMS-ing" and I know it can make you act weird, but really, I feel like it only enhances your 'normal' character and it's still never an excuse. The pg/bride girl is probably just actually like that.
However, this did remind me that I was going to make a wedding present. I actually designed the monogram for this wedding
Which I feel gives me some sort of craft 'advantage' because I could personalize something for them. What would you do? I also just realized that after all the hard work I did to make our monogram, I never did anything else with it... but it would be nice I guess. Maybe it's stupid, all I can think of are things like towels etc and I've never felt the need for that. Maybe one of you has something I haven't thought of?
Re: Does being pg actually make you crazy?
What a turd.
Things i think of with monograms:
stationery -- ty notes, everyday stationery, paper embosser w/monogram only or for return address/envelope flaps (or stamp version of any of these)
towels (bathroom, kitchen)
linens (top sheet, pillow cover)
door knocker/door mat
sign/hanging at entry (etched mirror, etc.)
Best sound ever: baby's heartbeat! (Heard @ 10w1d)
what a biznatch. seriously. poor OP. i think the stress of wedding planning + being knocked up had an affect on her...but i don't think any "normal" person would say that thing, even when ktfu/wedding jitters. she's got to have a little something wrong with her to begin with.
h and i didn't want monogram stuff because we knew we wouldn't ever use it. me esp... i've always hated my name...jennifer. seriously. me and 27million other people have the same name...so i was never attached to it. i don't care if something has the letter j on it.
but if your friend had asked you to design a monogram for her wedding, obviously, she likes the monogram look....so i think a gift with monogram would be nice. you can use cdmay's suggestions

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
That was super shiity what the OP's friend said to her. I would be super pissed.
We had a monogram, but I never did anything with it. I figured it was just a wedding thing and that was it.
However, etched wine glasses would be fun. Oh, or if you can track down a bottle of their wedding wine and etch that with the monogram that would be super cute too.
great suggestions ladies!
I don't have to do it btw, obviously I never thought twice about using ours again, just was wondering if there was something I could do since I have the monogram. Oh! Husky, your suggestion reminds me, they're actually getting married at a winery! Hmm... now I have to think about this.
