What Is a Monogram Stamp?

A monogram stamp is a custom stamp featuring one or more initials arranged in a decorative format. Traditionally, monograms have been used on stationery, correspondence, and personal items as a way to represent an individual, couple, or family.

Today, monogram stamps are popular for everything from return addresses to wedding invitations and gift packaging.
