Creative Message Suggestions

You can be as creative as you want when personalizing a gift, but if you're having difficulty finding just the right words to express yourself, our Popular Messages page features creative ideas and plenty of inspiration to help you create your own unique messages.

Font Styles

An attractive font adds the final touch to your message. On a wedding gift, use our Script or Cursive fonts for an elegant look. For a formal business recognition gift, Double Line Century or Block are popular choices. Use your imagination to make the message truly stand out! Samples of all of our fonts are below.

Premium Fonts

Our premium fonts will stand out more than traditional lettering on any product. Your message will look darker and easier to read because of a special engraving technique we've perfected. With these fonts, we'll engrave more of the surface area where each letter sits, creating an overall deeper feel that will set your message apart.

These fonts are multiline fonts, more surface of each letter is engraved, so it appears darker. The premium fonts have more lines making each character than our standard multiline fonts.

Thread Colors

We offer a variety of colors to embroider our soft items such as throws and blankets.

Monogram Etiquette

When engraving a monogram for one person, we recommend placing the first initial of the last name in the center (and making it larger) with the first initial of the first name to the left and first initial of middle name to the right. So

Jennifer Ann Smith would appear as JSA

.

When engraving a couple's monogram for a wedding, anniversary, etc., the first initial of the couple's last name should appear in the center, with first initial of the woman's first name to the left and first initial of the man's first name to the right. So

Jennifer Smith and Ken Smith would appear as JSK

Personalization pricing is based on each item in the set that is being engraved. For example, personalization on a set of two toasting flutes engraved with a date will be $6 x 2, or $12.
