3 Letter Monograms

Single letter monograms (either first of last initial) were the most common type until the beginning of the 20th Century. Three letter combinations are now the most common form. See the results of our Rules of Monogramming focus group for letter placement.

Feedback or Questions about "3 Letter Monograms" (3)

Regarding Monograms... I would like to do some throw pillows... and monogram them with our initials. it would be JW and LJ with a large T in the center...

JW T LJ

Most monogram software I've considered will only allow you to use 3 letters... or at least it won't make the middle letter "T" larger. Any suggestions??
Thanks so much

Most of our styles include two letter sizes. Each letter is an individual embroidery file - one for each letter. There are no restrictions on the number of letters that can be used to create a monogram. Using any embroidery software program the individual letters can be merged into one new monogram. Most embroidery software programs also allow the overall monogram to be resized as required.

What font should be used when monogramming a towel for a male? Should the 3 letters be the same size? If name is John H. Carroll should initial on towel be JHC?

WholesaleMonograms.com Support replies:

The choice of monogram style for a male has everything to do with fashion and visual style. Many of our customers consider more vertical styles to be masculine.

A three-letter monogram (for male or female) typically has the last initial in the center if the center letter is larger. If the letters are all the same size, the sequence changes, as you suggest.

Whether or not the center letter is larger or not isn't a male or female issue - it has to do with style and preference.

What is the etiquette for monograming? The middle initial is the last name. What is the first letter? The first letter of the bride's name or the groom's first initial?

WholesaleMonograms.com Support replies:

These days there is no hard rule about which individual's initial (bride or groom) goes on the left or right, although we suspect that most people would say that the bride's initial goes on the left.

In order to provide a contemporary set of rules, we have sponsored a Rules of Monogramming survey, and have to published the results pertaining to this question and several others.
