Monogram Traditions

Monogramming began with royalty as a sign of wealth and prestige.

Today we monogram items to create family heirlooms and special gifts for friends and family

• A traditional monogram has the last initial in the middle and is larger, first initial on the left and the middle initial on the right. For example Mary Sue Rivers would be:  MRS 
• A monogram for a married couple: the last name initial in the middle and is larger, the woman's initial to the left and the man's initial to the right. Mary and William Rivers would be:  MRW
• Be careful...not all letters look good in a monogram!
• When using the other fonts it is possible to have all initials the same size and placed in the order of first, middle, last.
• If you supply the recipient's full name as personalization text, we will check and adjust your monogram to be  certain that the initials are in the proper order for traditional monogramming (the enlarged center initial should represent the recipient's last name).
