    Hey, bees! Theknot.com is having a sale on their flasks, which FI wanted to get the groomsmen. The only problem is, he wanted to do their initials and the letters are all the same size. Would I do it FirstMiddleLast instead of FirstLastMiddle in this case? What do you guys think?

    Thanks for the help!

    *shameless bump*

    Are you guys sure it won't be confusing since it goes against the normal order of things? (and thanks!)

    I dont really understand what you are asking but if you are doing initials why dont you keep it simple and just do 1st and last name? If you really want to do middle names then just do it in regular order First middle last name so if the name is Frank Paul Smith the initial would the F.P.S that would read much better than F.S.P

    @tranquility: It would be groomsmen's initials, so let's say one of them is named John Henry Smith. I'm not sure if it should be JHS or JSH since the letters are all the same... Here's the link to the flasks :).

    Thanks so much, everyone! I thought that made the most sense, but I didn't want FI to give them awful gifts that didn't make any sense! :)

    I got a monogramed BM gift once and the initials were first, middle, last.  That's how it should be for personalized, individual gifts.  (And all 3 initials were the same size - FYI)
