Quiet elegance is always correct, and the monogrammed stationery found on Gifts in 24 embodies this look. In fact, the elegant appeal of a monogram harkens back to its deep history—something that goes largely undetected today. Embroidery experts and historians the world over say the monogram almost certainly denoted a sign of royalty. For one, the Romans and Greeks used monograms on silver and gold coins to praise their leaders. Further along in history, artists in varying mediums began applying monograms to their completed works. In the Victorian era, the upper class used monograms to indicate their position in society.

Today, while such pretense has mellowed, monograms still find popularity across consumer goods such as linens, luggage, and handbags—as well as the fine-quality stationery found here on Gifts in 24.

As the art of monogramming continues to enjoy popularity, it's helpful to consider some of the tradition behind it before creating your own monogram.

Historically, single-initial monograms and two-letter monograms once were preferred, yet the three-letter monogram has come to symbolize the standard layout. Back in the 19th and early 20th centuries—when rules emerged for three-letter monograms—it was fairly easy to know which letters represented which parts of an individual’s name. Today there is much more variation.

New styles present a monogram as a whole name or just initials. Yet as the rules relax, for the purist there still exist a few standards. For example, a three-initial monogram found in the Victorian format presents first initial, large last initial, middle initial. Another example is the male monogram, which holds same-size letters for first, middle, and last initials.

Married monograms normally contain the bride’s first initial on the left, the groom’s first initial on the right, and the joint last name initial larger in the center—similar to the Victorian female version.

The history and tradition behind monogramming surely has transcended the ages. Uses abound for personalized stationery, paper invitation cards and favors for occasions of all kinds. History prevails in all of our script monograms, which emerged from the very foundation of the monogram. In particular, our Traditional Monogram Note and the Classic Monogram Bordered card do the elegant monogram justice.
