Monogramming for... |
Monogram letters.... |
| |
|
|
A married couple who
are sharing
one last name. |
For a three-letter
monogram, place the groom's initial on the left, and the bride's
initial on the right, and the first letter of the last name in
the center. This is the most traditional placement; it's also
acceptable to have the bride's initial on the left, and
the groom's initial on the right. |
| |
|
|
Someone who has no
middle initial. |
Use a two-letter
monogram, where the letters are the same size. The first initial
should be on the left, and the last initial on the right. |
| |
|
|
Someone who has a
last name with an apostrophe (like O'Malley, O'Keefe). |
Use the first letter
of the last name. Lisa Marie O'Keefe's monogram is LOM,
with the O slightly larger than the L and M. If using letters
that are all the same height, her monogram is LMO. |
| |
|
|
Someone who has four
names (Mary Ellen Ruth Hart). |
A monogram with
letters of all the same size looks best: MERH
You can also stack the letters to make a square: ME
RH |
| |
|
|
A newly-married
couple who are hyphenating both last names to form a new last
name. (Douglas Peter Jamieson marries Gail Marie Nelson) |
Use a large J and N
in the center, smaller D and G on the sides: DJNG |
| |
|
|
And,
when all else fails, ask the person what their preference is. It
will be fun share the planning, as well as the gift! |
