Monogrammed bath towels are a great gift idea and the perfect way to make bath linens unique and personal.
Monogram Styles
There are many different ways to monogram towels. The most common style uses three initials: however, the order of the initials can vary. The letters can be used in order, from first name, middle name to last name. Another common style is for the last name to be placed in the middle of the monogram and the font made larger than the other two initials. Married couples typically use their first name initials placed on either side of their shared last name initial. Some prefer a simpler and elegant monogram by using just the last name initial by itself. There are also two letter monograms, that consist of the first and last name initials.
Other Initial Placements
People with more than three names will use more than three initials. For example, a man named John Travis Westly Smith might prefer the initials JTWS or JTSW. A married woman that wants to keep her maiden name might choose to use both initials of her hyphenated last name, such as Jami Nicole Jennings-Atherton to read as JNJA.
There are no rules when it comes to monogramming. It is simply a matter of personal choice. There are dozens of different fonts and embroidery designs available for monogramming. Some favored monogram colors are tone on tone, meaning the thread used in creating the monogram is the same color as the towel you selected. You can also choose a different color to make the monogram standout. Your options depend on where you decide to purchase your monogrammed bath linens.
