Couple Logo Maker

A good wedding logo matches the feel of your wedding, not just your taste in fonts. Start with the place it will be seen most. For most couples that's the invitation card, then the welcome board.

By the feel of your wedding

• Simple and modern. Choose Modern Line or Stacked. Clean letters look right on e-invites, a wedding website and a city reception. They also stay readable when printed small.
• Classic and timeless. Classic Initials and Laurel suit a church wedding, a hotel ballroom or a traditional card. Ivory & antique gold or Navy & silver keeps them quiet and elegant.
• Romantic. Interlocked, Signature Names and Floral Circle have soft, flowing lines. Blush & rose gold suits a day wedding or a garden.
• Grand and formal. Shield Crest, Ribbon Crest and Art Deco feel like a family emblem. They work well in gold foil on a dark card or a reception backdrop.
• Indian and festive. The six Indian styles bring in motifs you'll see across the functions: Palace Arch for a royal, Rajasthani feel, Marigold Ring for haldi and mehndi, Peacock for sangeet colour, Lotus Ring for a calm, elegant card, Paisley for the mehndi pattern feel, and Elephant Pair for a welcome board that greets the baraat (the groom's wedding procession).

By function

Many Indian weddings have three to five functions, and some couples like one logo with a different colour for each. Keep the same style and change only the colours:

• Haldi (the turmeric ceremony): Saffron & maroon, with Marigold Ring or Classic Initials.
• Mehndi (the henna function): Mehndi green & gold, with Paisley or Marigold Ring.
• Sangeet (the music night): Emerald & gold, or your own colours, with Peacock or Floral Circle.
• Wedding day: Maroon & gold with Palace Arch, Lotus Ring or Elephant Pair.
• Reception: Black & white or Navy & silver with Art Deco, Shield Crest or Laurel.

The same logo in different colours still looks like one family. That's the trick behind most well-planned wedding stationery.

What to put in your wedding logo

Keep it to two or three things. More than that, and the logo gets hard to read when it's printed small.

• Your initials or names. This is the heart of the logo. Use the names you call each other, not the full names on your documents.
• The joiner. "&" is the classic choice. "and" feels softer, and "weds" is common on Indian wedding cards.
• Your date (optional). It turns the logo into a keepsake for anniversaries. Use one format everywhere, so the card, the board and the cake topper match.
• A hashtag or short line (optional). Your wedding hashtag, or a short line like "Shubh Vivah" or "The Wedding of". Keep it short, because it sits under the logo in small letters.

If you want one logo for everything, make two versions with the same style: a full one with names, date and hashtag for big signs, and a plain one with just initials for small things like stickers and seals.

Initials or full names?

Initials make a tidy monogram that stays clear at small sizes: wax seals, napkins, sweet-box stickers and cake toppers. Full names are warmer and easier for guests to read on a welcome board or the first page of an e-invite. Many couples use both: a monogram for small things and the names version for big signs. In styles marked for both, you can switch with one tap in "Letters".

Whose initial goes first?

There's no rule you must follow. In India the bride's name usually comes first, so the tool starts that way. Tap "Swap order" if you'd rather put the groom first. The Western three-letter monogram, with a shared surname in the middle, is less common in India, because most couples don't share a surname at the wedding. Two first initials or two first names work for everyone.

Indian wedding logo styles

Our Indian styles use decorative motifs that are loved across regions and communities: the peacock, the lotus flower, marigolds, paisley (the shape you see in mehndi designs), the palace window arch called a jharokha, and decorated elephants. They are drawn as decoration, so any couple, of any faith, can use any of them. You'll find no images of deities or sacred symbols in our templates. We explain why in the questions below.

A marriage logo is most useful when it shows up again and again, from the first invite to the thank-you card. Here are the places couples use it most, with the file to pick and a size that works. The sizes are our rule of thumb for clear printing, not a fixed standard. Always check with your printer.

On your wedding card and e-invite

Put the logo on the cover or at the top of the first page. On a printed card, keep a monogram at least 2.5 cm wide and a wreath or crest at least 3.5 cm wide, so fine lines don't fill in. Give your card printer the SVG. For an e-invite or a PDF invite, use the print PNG, or the SVG if your designer prefers it. A wedding card logo also looks lovely on the envelope flap, the box lid and as a small stamp on the RSVP card.

On welcome boards and name boards

Welcome boards are often 2 × 3 feet or bigger. That's far bigger than A4, so send the SVG to the board printer or decorator. It stays sharp at any size. Put the logo on the top third of the board, with the names, function and date underneath. Make one board per function and change the colours to match.

On a cake topper

A cake topper monogram is usually cut from acrylic, wood or card by a laser cutter or a cutting machine. Download One colour for cutting machines (SVG) and send it to your baker or the topper maker. Script styles like Interlocked and Signature Names cut well. For a standard tiered cake, a topper about 12 to 15 cm wide is common. Ask your baker what fits your cake.

At the mehndi and haldi

Use the logo on props and signboards, on the photo booth backdrop, on hand fans, and on the little bags or baskets for favours. For haldi, Marigold Ring in Saffron & maroon looks bright in photos. For mehndi, show the logo to your mehndi artist. Many artists can hide your initials, or the groom's name, in the bride's mehndi design.

On napkins, menus and table cards

Printed napkins and coasters need simple shapes. Pick Classic Initials, Stacked or Modern Line, and use the one-colour SVG. For embroidered napkins, keep it to initials only, with no fine wreath lines. For menus and table cards, a logo 2.5 to 4 cm wide at the top is plenty.

On Instagram and WhatsApp

Use the Instagram PNG for an announcement post or a save-the-date. Make a set of story highlight covers by downloading the same logo in each function's colours. Set the WhatsApp DP version as the picture of your family wedding group, so everyone knows which chat is which. The DP version keeps the letters inside the round crop.

On your wedding website

Use the website PNG (see-through) in the header, or the SVG if your website builder accepts it. Keep the logo about 120 to 200 pixels tall on screen. It can also go at the top of your wedding emails.

On hashtag signs and the photo booth

Put the logo above your wedding hashtag on a small sign at each table, or at the photo booth, so guests know which tag to use. Add the hashtag as the short line under the logo in the tool, and both print as one design.

Gifts, favours and after the wedding

Sweet boxes, return gifts, gift tags, bottle labels and stickers all look more finished with your logo. Round sticker sheets usually come in 3 to 5 cm circles, and the Script Ring style is made for them. After the wedding, use the same logo on thank-you cards, your photo album cover and your first anniversary post.

Which file to send

• Printers, card designers and decorators: the SVG. It stays sharp at any size, and they can open it in Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Inkscape or Canva.
• Home printing and small prints up to A4: the print PNG (2480 × 2480 pixels). That's 21 cm wide at 300 dpi, the usual sharpness for printing, and it's the width of an A4 sheet.
• Cutting, foil and embroidery: the one-colour SVG.

A wedding logo PNG with a see-through background prints with no white box around it, so it sits cleanly on coloured card or fabric.

Colours

Screens show colour with light, and printers mix ink, so printed colours can look a little different. Gold on a screen often prints flat and brownish in normal ink. If you want real shine, ask for foil (see below). Before a big order, ask your printer for one proof print and look at it in daylight. If your printer gives you colour codes for your card, type them into "Use your own colours" so the logo matches.

Size

Small logos lose fine detail first. As a rule of thumb, keep monograms above 2.5 cm wide, wreaths and crests above 3.5 cm, and full names in script above 5 cm wide so the thin strokes don't break. For anything bigger than A4, such as boards, backdrops and banners, use the SVG.

Paper

Smooth, thick card (300 gsm or more) shows fine script lines best. Textured cotton or handmade paper looks rich but can soften very thin lines, so pick a bolder style like Classic Initials or Shield Crest for it. Ivory or cream card suits Maroon & gold and Ivory & antique gold. Dark card (navy, maroon, emerald) suits gold or silver foil.

Foil, embossing and letterpress

Foil, embossing and letterpress each use one colour at a time. Your printer turns your logo into a metal plate, called a die. Send the one-colour SVG and say which part should be foil. Gold foil on dark card works well with Laurel, Shield Crest, Art Deco and Palace Arch. Embossing (raised, with no ink) looks best on bolder shapes, so avoid the finest wreaths.

Projection and stage backdrops

Decorators can project your logo on the dance floor or a wall with a gobo light, or print it big on the stage backdrop. A gobo is a small disc cut with your design, so give them the one-colour SVG and pick a style without very fine lines, like Lotus Ring or Classic Initials.

Mistakes to avoid

• Sending a screenshot to the printer. A screenshot is small and blurry when printed. Always send the downloaded PNG or the SVG.
• Too many colours on one card. Your logo already has two colours. Let the rest of the card use the same two, plus ivory or white.
• Different dates on different things. Check the date on the logo once, then use the same file everywhere.
• Printing before your partner sees it. Copy the share link and send it to your partner and family first. It's much cheaper to change a file than a box of printed cards.
• Thin lines at tiny sizes. If a sticker or napkin looks blurry in the proof, switch to a simpler style, like Classic Initials, for that item.

People use these words loosely, but here's the simple version.

• A monogram is your initials joined into one small mark, such as "P & A" or two interlocked letters. It's the classic wedding monogram for seals, napkins and cake toppers. In our tool: Classic Initials, Stacked, Interlocked, Script Ring and most Floral and Indian styles.
• A logo is any mark that stands for your wedding. It can be your initials, your full names, your date or your hashtag, with or without an ornament. Every monogram is a logo, but not every logo is a monogram. In our tool: Signature Names, Half Wreath and any style switched to full names.
• A crest is a framed emblem, like a family coat of arms. It usually has a shield or oval, a ribbon, and often a date in Roman numerals. A wedding crest feels formal and grand. In our tool: Shield Crest, Ribbon Crest and Art Deco.

You don't need all three. Most couples pick one style and use it in a few versions: initials for small things, names for big signs.

When a designer is worth it

This tool gives you a ready-made template logo in seconds, with your names set correctly every time. That's enough for most couples. A custom wedding logo design from a designer is worth it if you want something no one else has: a drawing of your venue, your pet, a story from how you met, or lettering in Hindi or another Indian script. Designers usually take a few days to a few weeks and charge for each round of changes. You can still use this tool first to try styles and show your designer what you like.

All 18 styles are drawn by our own team, with no stock art. The letters use free, open fonts released under the SIL Open Font License (OFL): Pinyon Script, Parisienne, Allura, Cormorant Garamond, Playfair Display, Cinzel, Bodoni Moda, Italiana, Marcellus, Montserrat and Tenor Sans. The OFL lets anyone use these fonts to make graphics, and says the license does not cover documents made with them. When you download, your letters are turned into shapes inside the file, so the logo looks the same on any computer, with no font to install.
