I found two other video tutorials one for Microsoft Word and one for Power Point. You can find them under the DIY resources. I left the previous link up just in case the error is fixed and it starts working again. Then new Power Point tutorial is labeled number 2.

Monograms are huge right now. You see monograms on invitations, programs, escort cards, gobo lighting, seating charts, cakes, cookies, napkins and list goes on.

This is one trend I like because you can really make your monogram your own and use it where ever to personalize your wedding. Monograms don't even require a graphic designer because they are really easy to make! Fancy software is not needed all you need is your basic power point. Here is a link to a video that gives step by step instructions to make your DIY Monogram.
