Monogrammed Stationary Style Guide
September 4, 2007 What is ..., Style Guides No CommentsA monogram is a stationary design composed of the initials of a name and usually includes 3 initials. Typically a monogram is identified by a larger, center initial which always represents the last or “Family” name. If all the initials are the same size it is not considered a monogram, just initials. Personalized stationery monogrammed can be in classic script initials or in more contemporary typestyles. Choose a personalized stationery design that reflects your personality or for the person receiving a monogrammed stationery gift.
