There isn’t a right or wrong order to monogram initials. The most common order for a girl or single lady is her first name initial followed by the last name initial and then the middle name initial. A boy or man can request a straight monogram in the order of his name. For example, the monogram would consist of the first name initial followed by the middle name initial and then the last name initial. Traditionally a monogram for newlyweds consists of the womens initials with her new last name in the middle. It is also very common to use his and her first initials and their last initial in the middle. How will I know what my monogram will look like?
