Word of advice: monograms are not for everyone. See: http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2009/07/series-of-unfortunate-monograms.html
I highly recommend looking through old cakewrecks posts, for two good reasons. (1) HILARIOUS; (2) You'll find plenty examples of what-not-to-do. Or more aptly, what your baker shouldn't do. If you do your research on wedding vendors it should be easy to avoid a wedding wreck.
Back to monograms:
They are great on invitations--though etiquette followers beware, no monograms using both first initials, and his last initial are to be used before you're actually wed--however, modern "monograms" which are more like logos made of your first names, are great on invites. You'll see monograms on everything from matchbook covers to candles to napkins. But my favorite place for them is...surprise: THE CAKE.

I love the script used for the monogram.

This may be my favorite. The initials and ampersand are adorable, and the oval/scrolly design surrounding them is perfect. You'll find I have an incredible lack of knowledge of technical terms for artistic doo-dahs and decorating techniques. Feel free to fill me in on what I should be calling things.

Beautifully simple
While I like the overall concept here, the monogram itself is not my favorite. I would have picked a more flowy, elegant script.

LOVE this cake! It's simple, classic, gorgeous.
