The rules of monogramming can be confusing, so here are a few guidelines to help you make the best choice for your personal stationery or gifts:
 
 
For a single woman, the monogram should include her first, middle and last initial.  The last name initial is larger than the first name or middle name.
Kimberly Anne Turner would be:
KTA
 
For a married woman, the monogram should include her first, maiden and married initial.  Again, the last name is larger than the first or maiden name initials.
Kimberly Turner Williams would be:
KWT
 
For an engaged or married couple, the monogram should contain the bride's first initial, the surname of the couple and the groom's first initial, in that order. 
Kimberly and Mike Williams would be:
KWM
 
For a man, there are a couple of options.  Many people prefer to use the first, middle and last name initials in that order and the letters are all the same size. 
James Michael Williams would be:
JMW
 
However, it is also correct to use a man's surname initial in the middle, so
James Michael Williams would be:
JWM
