Six Hilariously Wrong Wedding Cake Monograms
March 2, 2016 Not everyone is fully fluent in text speak and common abbreviations, so let's cut these couples a little slack, mkay?
Right after we finish laughing, I mean.

*Do Not Attempt
Hey, guys! You've just make the most serious vow of either of your lifetimes.
OR DID YOU?
;)
Aw, just kidding. Really. It's no big deal.
;)
See?
Some of these could be chalked up to a simple oversight, but this? How could you NOT notice your monogram spells something?
;)
I know it's an old joke, but...
...nope, that's pretty much it.
Hey, you're not superstitious, are you? Because some people might be tempted to take this as a sign:
;)
It's all in the delivery.
And finally, my wedding monogram of the month:
;)
[head in hands]
I can't decide if I'm more delighted or horrified that their accent color was blood red. I'm delorrified.
Or horrighted.
No, wait: I've had time to think about it, and I'm definitely delorrified. Mostly 'cuz that's how I'd describe Marty when he gets stranded in 1955. Right? Delorrified? Eh?

Bwahaha needed that giggle. Please do election jokes sooon
The AGE and PMS cakes are actually nice, well apart from that topper on the first one.
It took me a while to get the second and third ones; the acronyms are still fairly new. AGE is fairly funny - I imagine the couple was making a joke. I just hope the others figure out initials and monograms before that start naming children.
I'm delorrified too Jen!
One can only assume the bride is passive aggressive in the first cake and warning her groom in the last one...
There's a reason I didn't have a monogram on my wedding cake. Or ask for monogram towels or anything else. And that reason is no one wants to eat cake with aSs on it. Or use a towel with that on it, for that matter.
As a JK married to another JK (actually he's a JRK but we won't go there), I am a total fan of the second cake!
The fact that, even with all that space, the monogram is not centered is also NBD.
One of my favorite bad monograms? oFu - and the bride put it in EVERYTHING! I still have a wrapped mint somewhere.
I bet there is one out there that says WTF that would be an interesting couple...
Since I don't text, I had to Google NBD, so I would have never caught that one. The PMS cake so perfect otherwise. I'm sure the bride and groom have a great sense of humor. Like the couple I helped who had decided to name their future son (if they had one) Rock. So his name would be Rock Thrower.
Some of these monograms are T M I. (hee hee)
Can we talk about the topper on the AGE cake? The bride nabbed herself a groom using a shotgun, a dog and a raccoon? And the poster presumably says it's open season on guys of marriagable age?
Ours was "tWc" - everyone asked if it stood for "the wedding cake"
*wipes eyes* -- Red ribbon and flowers for the PMS cake. So glad I wasn't sipping tea...
We had to avoid one of these in my husband's family a few years back. His sister is adopted and English is her second language. Her initial is A and her groom was T. We had to talk until we were blue in the face that T&A on her wedding cake was a BAD idea. Maybe someone should have talked to these guys a little longer...
It's not just wedding cakes. Anyone remember the Wisconson Trade Federation?
I actually like the painting on the aGe cake...
I love the idea of DOA. That could have been a fun theme if they wanted to
You see, you have to know when not to do this thing! Our initials were either M&S (we're British) or s&m. We decided discretion was the better part of valour in this case ;)
Someone decided to get us engraved glasses with our initials as a wedding gift. Unfortunately, they ordered it GAG. We called them our gag glasses. Somehow they magically disappeared at some point. Let this be a warning - watch initials before naming a child. They may grow up to hate you.
@ Sheri C. I had the same problem. I only have things monogrammed if I use my middle name instead of my maiden name! My mother was horrified when she went to purchase monogrammed thank you notes for my wedding!
Ay carumba! You have to be soooooooooooooooo careful with letters these days! I was ROTFLMO at some of the posters stories too. Hilarious.
I had a friend "back in the day" whose last name was Landon. She joked that she'd name her offspring Amanda if a girl, and Knots if a boy.
Dumb question - is the middle letter in the monograms above the first letter of the surname?
Delorrified is when they ban through trucks on your street.
All I know is that to me #5 looks like lots of fun if you spin it right 'round, baby, right 'round, like a record, baby, right 'round 'round 'round...
(semi-obscure 80's pop reference ftw) >.>
omg wtf bbq ikr
We put T&A on top of our wedding cake! It was the best!
Honestly, I could let (most of) the monogram fails go if the cakes had actually looked nice. The last one is the only one pretty enough to get away with a brow-raising monogram, and that's the one with the worst monogram of all of them! I mean, really, I don't want to be reminded of dealing with that on my wedding day!
we put PMS on top of ours... on purpose. it's also on engraved things we have (jewelry, etc)... great memories... best part was my new MIL freaking out when she saw it! She wanted to "fix" before I saw it HAHAHAHHAA
I made a wedding cake where that wanted the first letters of their first names...it was Stacy and Michael with and amperanad in between...S&M..I had them on top of the cake when my husband told me I probably ought to switch them around...
I think I got lucky and just had a small non monogrammed cake lol. Though ours doesn't spell anything who knows what a wreckerator could do. Considering all I have seen on this site we got lucky lol.
Nerfbomb ftw! (Although, all I think you need to do is find yourself a brand-new baker; one with decorating skills, who doesn't notice all the fakers.)
While I would have avoided several of those- dOa, pMs, etc- the fact that the monogram simply spells a word doesn't bother me, such as with the aGe monogram. In fact, the monogram is just about the LEAST wreckiest thing on that cake.
Speaking of other situations where more discretion might have been applied... I did have a friend in school named Alexis Sarah S.... And, the name of a local middle school starts with P, so all the students yell out "PMS! PMS! PMS!" at the ball games, events, etc, which the former middle schooler in me finds HILARIOUS!! And, finally, I cannot stand seeing the commercial for Universal Technical Institute... seriously, I do NOT want to go to a school whose name can be shortened to UTI. :(
Bttf for the win!!
