Embroidery Lettering Styles

A monogram is a 1, 2 or 3 letter initial in a certain order. When you have a 3 letter initial done in the "monogram" style, it is embroidered First Name, Last Name, Middle Name - in that order. The last name is centered and larger the two outside initials. You would enter the initials in that order in the "monogram" field.

You can have initials done not in a "monogram" style. In this case the initials are embroidered First Name, Middle Name, Last Name and all the same height in that order in the "text" field.

Initials only get tricky when you have three initials. If you are having a one or two letter personalization, don't worry.

Three Letter Traditional Monogram:
This when you want the center letter to be larger. You should use "Monogram" field of the personalization option.

1.To do a three letter monogram embroidery for a person's name,
you should enter: First name initial, last name initial, middle name initial
Example: Mary Jane Smith should be entered as: MSJ
We would embroider it as MSJ.

2.To do a three letter monogram with the bride and groom's name: Traditionally, it would be bride's first name initial, married last name initial, groom's first name initial.
Example: Mary Smith is going to marry Joe Brown.
The monogram should be entered as MBJ and it would be embroidered MBJ.

Two Letter Monogram:
This is pretty straight forward. The first name initial and last name initial are used in that order.

Single Letter Monogram:
Traditionally, the last name initial is used. However, some choose to use the first name initial. It's a personal choice. (We have seen it done all different ways).
