What’s MY monogram?

Please remember, unless otherwise noted for a particular product, we will follow the first, last, middle initial configuration, with the last name (center) initial slightly larger. When ordering monogrammed items, we ask that you enter initials in that order (first, last, middle). If you would like a particular monogram stitched differently, please note that in the comments section for each particular item purchased. Listed below are traditional guidelines:

Individuals: The common order is first initial, last initial, middle initial, with the last initial stitched larger than the first and middle initials. For example, Cara Ann Jones monogram would be CJA.

Men/Boys: Traditionally, men and boys had their initials placed in natural order (first, middle, last) all stitched in the same height, typically in the Block font. For example, Michael Howard Black’s monogram would be MHB. Men and boys traditionally could have their initials listed first, last, middle, while in the circle or diamond pattern. Again, these are the traditional rules. Men and boys can have their monograms stitched in the first, last, middle configuration in any font you choose.

Couple: The common order is the woman’s first initial, couple’s last initial, man’s first initial, with the last name initial stitched larger than both of the first name initials. For example, Hanna and Connor Wilson’s monogram would be HWC. We also see a lot of requests for a “stacked” monogram, with the both of the first initials placed vertically next to the last initial with both stacks being the same height.

Single Name/Initial: These may be used as well and are considered less formal than traditional three letter monograms.

Greek Letters: We can personalize items with fraternity and sorority letters. Please spell out the full name of your fraternity or sorority in the comments section and we will stitch the correct letters. If you also have a local chapter, please let us know and we will see how we can incorporate it into your design!
