Q:: What is the proper way to monogram items?
A:: Below we have given you several samples for monogramming.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the rules for three-letter monograms were created, it would have been easy to know which letters represented which parts of an individual name. Ellen Marie Webb would immediately recognize this monogram as her own first name initial (E) on the left, middle name initial (M) on the right, and last name initial (W) in the center, larger than the rest.
Welcome to 21 st century. Things have gotten a little complicated, and so it is with monogramming.
With a few, there have always been confusion and disagreement in what manner the initials should be placed. We love the traditional monogramming way, but to keep up with the latest trends we are always pleased to accommodate special request.
Please see a series of monogramming situations below. If you have a special personalization request please check with us before your order is submitted.
