Women MonogramsA monogrammed gift for a woman should include her first, middle, and last initial or if she is married, her first, maiden name, and married last name initials. Traditionally, a woman's monogram is presented in first, last, middle initial order, when reading left to right. There are so many new fonts nowadays that allow for reversing the order of initials to the first, middle, and last name order, it has become just a personal preference.
