Monogramming is one of the latest trends. If you were to walk onto a college campus right now, you could probably spot a few monogrammed totes or computer cases lying around or hanging on the shoulders of students. Monogramming is also a popular design for household items, such as towels, sheets, cups, and bags. No matter how recent the trend seems, it’s actually been around for an extremely long time.

Monograms were first used in Ancient Greece and have been used by royalty and high society for centuries since. You can see monograms on early coins meant to mark the reign of a particular Roman or Greek ruler. Artists in the Middle Ages used monograms to claim their artwork. And they became especially popular in the Victorian Era when people started to use them to personalize their belongings.

Tees2UrDoor sells a number of items that can be personalized with a monogram. But first, we think we can surprise you with a few unknown facts about monogramming.

Monogram Styles & Definitions

1. The Classic Monogram

If you’re not quite sure what a the definition of monogram is, you will probably recognize one once you see it. The Classic Monogram, which is generally called a monogram, is comprised of a person’s 3 initials: the first letter of his or her first, last and middle names. The last name initial is in the center of the design and is usually larger than the other two letters. For instance, say a person was named Cassie Maria Greene. She’d more than likely want to enter CGM as her initials since this would make the largest letter on her custom shirt G.

2. Parents-and-Children Variation

If you’d like to customize some t-shirts for your family with a monogram, you can get one with each of your children’s names as the center letter. For instance, if the mother was named Cassie, the father John, and the child was named Abraham, the monogram would be: CAJ or JAC.

Each child can get their own shirt with their initial couched between yours. Note: many of our t-shirts come starting in toddler sizes all the way to Adult 5XL, so you can truly get tees for “the whole family.”

3. The Single-Letter Monogram

What if a person doesn’t have three initials? Or what if a person’s initials spell out something odd or inappropriate? Sometimes people aren’t interested in displaying all of their initials. When that’s the case, the Single Letter Monogram is a great personalization option. With this design, one letter is displayed. It can be your first name initial, last name initial or, really, whatever letter you want!

4. The Married Monogram

The latest trend within the monogramming phenomenon is the Married Monogram. It is a design that combines a married couple’s initials. It includes the bride and groom’s first name initials along with the last name initial. Traditionally the groom’s name would come first; however, lately the bride’s initials are being used first. For example, if Jim Smith married Pam, their Married Monogram would be: P S J. And the “S” would be larger than the “P” and “J”.

5. Safety Precautions to Consider With Personalized Belongings

In the 1990s, it was popular for kids to have their names on everything. Entire first names would be exhibited on backpacks, shoes, coats, and accessories. It’s a cool idea, but for young children, it can be a safety hazard, especially if they are out walking alone without a parent or guardian. Monogramming can eliminate the risk of danger by not displaying a person’s entire name. However, a monogram can still show ownership. Therefore, we think that the monogram is a suitable substitute.

6. Monogrammed Items Make Great Gifts

Giving a friend or loved one a monogrammed gift is an amazing idea because you know that your gift will be unique and you can be sure that they will love it! Popular items that can be monogrammed and gifted include:

• baseball caps

• totes and bags

• clothes, bags, towels, bedsheets, and car decals.

7. Font Styling

The more fonts styling choices the more interesting your monograms can look. At Tees2urdoor we choose font styles that enhance each piece’s look and sometimes can offer choices of font styles.

For instance, we have script fonts with varying degrees of artistry in the cursive lines, and we also have a sans-serif art deco font for a retro look. The san-serif font fits very well inside of a circle or other shape. This art deco font excellently enhances the retro look on raglan-sleeve tees.
