How To Personalize Monogrammed Linens For Newlyweds

By Edwina Heuser


More people are becoming creative nowadays that they are able to let people appreciate the art of customizing items. One form of celebrating crafting is when women prefer to use embroidered linens in their homes. Some even go far as to personalizing yacht linens to give cruising that homey feel. On the other hand, when giving gifts, a set of monogrammed linens is best enjoyed by newlyweds who are starting a new life together.

First and foremost, how is a monogram identified? It is a symbol composed of the initials of a name. It represents ownership as well as a sense of classic minimalism in design. With this in mind, and with the understanding that weddings are very regal and sentimental, here are several tips to come up with the best personalized linen present.

In the order of the letters, the initial embroidered in the middle should be the last name of the married couple. The initials of the names of the bride and groom are on either side. Therefore, they are symbolically joined together by the family name that they will soon share once the vows are exchanged.

The letters of the initials should be in capital form. Using three initials is already a standard, and usually, the one in the middle is bigger compared to the other two. However, if you are meaning to give a linen that will grant the couple joint ownership, settling with the initial of their married name is fine.

To further discuss design aesthetic, you should be mindful of the font. While it is usual to use any cursive font, you can still experiment further with the preferences and characteristics of the couple. This is only advisable if you are sure that you have a reliable discerning radar to execute this well.

A bride may also wish to hyphenate her family name to keep it. If you are aware of this fact, go for the cipher pattern of monogramming initials. It uses the combination of the last names of the couple. They are lucky if their initials are E and Y because alongside W and V, the combination looks great when embroidered.

Outside of this guideline, do not hesitate to explore additional options. Other his and hers gift packages that are of individual use may require you to designate each monogram according to the person, not the name combinations. This is to clearly show whose item is which.

Moreover, you can further customize the set of monogrammed linens you will give as a gift. While white with gold and silver accents is a safe choice, you can choose colored ones if you have mastered an understanding of the taste of the couple. Most importantly, to assure the best comfort possible, choose your fabric wisely.
