Monograms versus initials

...Initial Etiquette...
Initials are simply the first letter of each name---for instance Mary Jo Smith---in initial form is MJS.  All letters are the same size with no emphasis on any one.

...Monogram Etiquette...

Ordinarily your monogram is created with your last initial in the center, flanked by your first and middle initial. For instance, Mary Jane Smith would appear M S J. The "S" will be the largest letter in the center of the three letter monogram.


Please note, when you order from ElizaJayCharm, we require monogram format.   In order to reduce errors on our part, our policy is to copy and paste exactly what you give us.  We do not rearrange initials to create monograms.
