Personalized Wedding Gifts

Personalized, monogrammed items make great gifts to anyone in the wedding party.

I’ve monogrammed handkerchiefs, pillows and table linens for the bride and groom for many, many customers. Handkerchiefs are the number one sellers! Customers request the handkerchiefs have the bride and grooms monogram on one side with their names and the wedding date on the opposite corner. The wedding date commemorates their special day beautifully. Their names are usually in the “Julie & Justin” format with the date embroidered just under their names. The date is usually in the “October 25, 2009” format. Choose white thread on a white handkerchief or ivory thread on an ivory handkerchief for the lady’s and white on white for the man’s to give the gift a classic look. Otherwise, choose a color that coordinates with the bride’s wedding colors.

Many brides and grooms have chosen the monogrammed handkerchiefs as gifts to their wedding party. Bride’s maids and groomsmen love the personalized touch as well as having something that they can keep and use. These handkerchiefs are durable! Monogram the handkerchief with a full monogram or just the last name initial.

Families of the bride and groom find these handkerchiefs very special! The mother and father of the bride and groom or the grand parents, either way it gives them an extra special way to have a wonderful keepsake of the wedding. One example would be to give them a handkerchief with the bride and groom’s monogram on it with the date on the opposite corner. Another way would be to have their very own monogram on the handkerchief with the bride and groom’s name and date on the opposite corner.

There are many personalized gifts for weddings, handkerchiefs are a classic that can be personalized to each person receiving it. I love them!

Do you have a favorite? I would love to hear from you!

Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you already thinking about what to get that special person for Valentine's Day?

I know I am!

Of course I've given my special guys, my husband and two boys, the special gift of monogrammed handkerchiefs. They love them, one because the boys feel "grown up" and two because there's no arguing over whose is whose. I have perfect gentlemen abounding.

Personalized gifts are a wonderful way to give a special someone the Valentine's gift they deserve.

A set of monogrammed handkerchiefs, a monogrammed linen book mark or a posh monogrammed pillow makes a great gift for Valentine's Day. How lovely to receive something that means someone took the time to remember you and get something that is personal.

I think personalized gifts are great, you can use their initials to have it monogrammed or you can use their first or last name to make it a personalized gift. Either way is great.

Have a great Valentine's Day gift giving season!

Christmas is almost here.........I've been working around the clock getting Christmas orders out and have a few more last minute ones to get out.

The gift that has been the most popular from my site have been the Men's Monogrammed Handkerchiefs. I love this......it tells me that gifters are wanting to give that special man in their lives a gift that has a personal and old world touch. I also think that it is because it's an affordable luxury.

Again, the most popular lettering arrangement for these men's monogrammed handkerchiefs is the traditional first name initial, last name initial (larger), and lastly the middle name initial, "WDL."

Also, the most popular colors for the monogram has been black followed by navy, grey and white. Yes, white on white is very popular for men. I think it allows gentlemen to be somewhat discreet but still debonair in a way.

The second most popular gift is split between the lady's monogrammed handkerchiefs and the monogrammed linen bookmark. I love the monogrammed linen bookmark for teachers, Sunday school teachers as well as garden club friends or any friend for that matter!

I love Christmas and I love that it is one of my busiest times of the year!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a great gifting year!

Sincerely,

Stephanie

Men's Monogram Lettering Styles

I've often been asked which way is the best lettering arrangement for the men's monogrammed handkerchief.

The majority of orders that I get do request that the man's monogram be "first name initial," "last name initial," and then the "middle name initial." The last name initial is in the center and larger the first and middle name initial. As in "KDL," Kerry Lee Deese.

There are some who prefer the monogram letters be all the same size and in the order of "KLD."

Some even prefer there only be two letters "KD."

I've done all of these and wondered what your opinion would be on this subject.
