Sharing your bath towel may not be a good idea, as it increases the chances of contracting a contagious disease that someone else has. Monogrammed towels are ideal for personal use in large homes, in those places there is a wide possibility that your towel will mix with that of others. Also, it would be a good idea to gift a monogrammed bath towel to the newly married couple.

To order your monogrammed bath towel, you can contact a department store that provides this service or you can even order it online. If you are a skilled embroiderer, you can make a bath towel monogram yourself. Following the information on designing and placing a monogram on your towel would make your job much easier.

  • For a standard bath towel, the height of the monogram letters should be large, that is, about 3 “to 4”. If your bath towel does not have a side band, then the monogram is usually placed 4 “above the hem. Conversely, if your towel has a band, it would be perfect to place the monogram 2” above the band.
  • The monogram is generally applied 2 “above the hem of the hand towel if it has no bands and if your hand towel has bands, place the monogram 1.5” above the band. The alphabet size for this monogram should be no more than 2 “high.
  • Use a small alphabet size about 1 “to 1.5” tall while getting a monogram on a washcloth. For a banded cloth, apply the monogram 1 “above the band and if the cloth is unbanded, place it 1.5 inches above the hem.
  • If you plan to gift a monogrammed bath towel to a married couple who share the same last name, choose a three-letter monogram. This three-letter monogram may have the husband’s initial on the left, the wife’s initial on the right, and the first letter of the common last name in the middle. This is the conventional location, but if you want, you can also swap the location of the husband and wife initials, which is fine too.
  • If you would like to gift a monogrammed towel to a newly married couple, get it monogrammed “His” and “Her”.
  • People who do not have a middle name generally opt for a two-letter monogram with the initials with the first initial on the left and the second on the right. It is imperative to have both letters the same size.
  • The monogram for a person who has a middle name with an apostrophe usually consists of three letters; the height of the middle letter is kept slightly longer than the other two side letters. Or you can also choose to place the middle letter on the right side.
  • Children’s bath towels are usually monogrammed with their first name or nickname.
  • It would be a good idea to get bath towels monogrammed with the word “Guest” for the towels you want to keep exclusively for your guests.
