    I want to get a Miami Dolphins garter to surprise my FI, but I'd love to have it embroidered with names & dates, or something. The problem is, I can't find any one on etsy that can embroider their garters that I've looked at. If I go to a bridal shop, can I bring in a garter I already bought & ask them to embroider for me? Because I'm looking at a bridal shop that makes garters & can embroider them, but I'm not sure if they can do Miami dolphins, or just the colors. Or, am I just stuck ordering a Miami Dolphins set online, and seeing if anyone I know has an embroidery machine & can do it for me?

    Etsy.com is your answer! There are plenty of sellers who do garters for sports teams. Since the seller is also the person who made the garter, they can probably embroider it for you - just ask the seller. If you can't find what you're looking for, go to etsy alchemy and request a custom item. I'm sure there will be plenty of people on there who will have the skills to make what you're after.

    To start you in your search:

    I make garters and can tell you the embroidery should be done before it's constructed.  I have seen team garters online so I am sure you can find what you are looking for.  I would do it for you, but I don't know if I could find Miami Dolphin ribbon/cloth, etc. Team colors would be easy if that's what you want.  Good luck.  The suggestion above is a good one.

    Thanks! I'll try to do an alchemy request first
