 Monogram Etiquette
What is a monogram? A monogram tells a story. It suggests who we are or want to be, tradition, and individual
identity. A monogram consists of a person’s initials — usually a variation on the first, middle, and last name—and
much has been written about proper monogram etiquette. Here are the traditional guidelines to monogramming
along with non-traditional ones, so you can make your own monogram tell a story about you.

Which Initials and in What Order?

Single Monograms Two Initial Monograms

Single-initial monograms typically use the last name. Two-initial monograms combine the first and last initials.
Example for John Smith: Example for John Smith:

S JS
* LAST* *FIRST*LAST*

Three Initial Monograms

The three-letter monogram is probably the most classic of traditional monograms and has the most options.

Traditional Women Married Women

First, LAST, Middle. The middle name is typically dropped.
Example for Jane Rose Smith: First, LAST, Maiden.

JSR Example for Jane Rose Smith Black:

*FIRST*LAST*MIDDLE*
JSB
*FIRST*LAST*MAIDEN*
Traditional Men
First, MIDDLE, Last. Married Couple
Example for John Arthur Smith:
Joint monograms begin with her first initial followed
JAS by the surname and then his first initial.
*FIRST*MIDDLE*LAST* Example for John & Jane Smith

It is also correct to put a man’s surname JSJ

*HER FIRST*MARRIED LAST*HIS FIRST
initial in the middle:

JSA Name/Phrase
*FIRST*LAST-MIDDLE*
Use the entire family name or monogram
with a favorite phrase.
Example for John Smith
Smith
LAST
