I'd love to get some towels or sheets initial monogrammed, but I'm on the West Coast and have to admit it's very rare to see anyone with monogrammed stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491597 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:28:08 +0000 allison 491597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MRS. LEMON-LIME: Yeah, I totally had my name embroidered on my L.L. Bean backpack. In junior high, you weren't cool unless you had one of those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491565 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:18:05 +0000 T-Mom 491565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my DD's PB anywhere chair monogrammed, and that was it. I have seen it in excess and it's really not my style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491556 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:16:03 +0000 Bao 491556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On blankets it is cute, or towels, but not a fan of it on clothes. At least just on my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491554 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:15:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 491554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love monograms-just the initials though. One personalized piece in a nursery can go a long way. Remember adding your initials to your backpack in grade school? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491552 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:14:33 +0000 Springtime 491552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like monogramming, it adds that personal touch. I think sometimes it can be overdone, and literally have the name on everything they own. I think that's a little much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491519 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:06:23 +0000 mediagirl 491519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: OMG. I am not a southerner. I moved down here 8 years ago and went to a craft fair put on by the Junior League? Pink, polka dots, ribbons, bows and monograms threw up all over that craft fair. I couldn't escape fast enough.....</p> <p>I have a lovey that has my daughter's name on it. Not her initials, just her name. I'm cool with that. And only that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491512 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:05:18 +0000 eeh 491512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't buy it personally but I wouldn't throw it away if someone gave it to us. I prefer not having it though because I'd like to reuse/sell as much as I can. A few special things would be ok though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491510 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:05:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 491510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that for safety reasons I would not put my child in something embroidered with their full name on it. </p> <p>However, a few pieces of clothing with her initials (monogram) I can live with. I agree that keepsake pieces like a blanket are cute monogrammed but not when everything has it on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491509 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:05:04 +0000 Mrsbells 491509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont hate it, it can be nice to have something personal for that particular child, but I dont go out of my way to get it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491497 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:02:49 +0000 PrincessBaby 491497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never even occurred to me that some people may not like monogram ing/embroidery! </p> <p>I just sent DH's best friend a beautiful monogrammed PBK blanket for their newborn! I never even thought twice about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491479 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:57:35 +0000 HLK208 491479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends, I don't like a majority of monogrammed clothing items or accessories but I've bought one monogrammed shirt and a personalized frame. I probably would monogram like a PBK's chair or blanket, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491478 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:57:31 +0000 Smurfette 491478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said Meh, only cause I don't mind a couple things. Like someone gave us a silver pacifier holder, and I need to get her initial monogrammed on it. But that is something that can be a keepsake. </p> <p>But I am not a fan of the names on shirts, bibs, burb clothes, and blankets. Seriously have had like 10 people complain that we won't tell them the name, cause they wanted something monogrammed. I just hope we don't get it all after she is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491470 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:55:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 491470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple blankets with her name, which I like, not really any clothes although I think it woudl be cute for holidays! I wouldn't reuse clothes for that if we had another girl. As long as everything is not personalized I say go for it! Cute to save in her hope chest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491466 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:55:00 +0000 runsyellowlites 491466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't like it at. all! I'm in the South too (Texas) but luckily haven't received anything monogrammed. I could see possibly monogramming one the blankets made for lo but that's only for keepsake purposes &amp; would likely be done before it was put away to store, so we'd always know which lo it belonged to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491461 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:54:02 +0000 Weagle 491461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And I just have to point out, a monogram is just initials. If a name is on an item it is embroidered. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491452 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:52:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 491452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I’m glad to see others hate monogramming – I thought I was the only one! I don’t see the point – I know LO’s name, everyone else knows her name. She knows her name. To me, a little goes a very long way. One item can be cute; but when you’ve got almost every item monogrammed; it starts to look real tacky real quick. It’s also a safety issue for older kids for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491450 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:52:12 +0000 lawbee11 491450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely don't hate it, but I don't like it when every single thing is monogrammed. I think it's cute to have a monogrammed diaper bag or blanket or lunch box, but I am not a fan of monogramming clothing. I am friends with a girl on Facebook and I swear every article of clothing and every accessory for her kids is monogrammed...it looks like a Pottery Barn catalog barfed on her family, and I think it's a bit excessive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491449 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:52:07 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 491449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate it. Except for special keepsakes, like her first baby blanket that she can pass on to her daughter or something.<br /> It is very 1990s to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491415 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:47:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 491415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! I'm also from the south. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491407 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:45:40 +0000 Alivoo01 491407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm okay with it being on blankets or towels, but not so much on clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491396 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:43:19 +0000 meredithNYC 491396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't buy any of it for LO myself, but I don't mind the few monogrammed gifts we've been given (some burp cloths and a Pottery Barn quilt). Interestingly enough, the burp cloths were given to me by my cousin in Georgia, so I guess you're right about it being a southern thing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491391 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:41:56 +0000 PrincessBaby 491391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! But I am from the South, and we monogram everything there:)</p> <p>Eta: I just think it looks "neater" if I see a baby with monogrammed stuff. It takes it up a notch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491389 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:41:34 +0000 MsLipGloss 491389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel *meh* about it . . . but my MIL *puffyhearts* it . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491386 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:40:25 +0000 loveisstrange 491386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm meh also. I agree that for a very special, keepsake item it would be fine. For every day clothing/diaper bag/etc... no, I'm not a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491377 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:38:40 +0000 JerricaBenton 491377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love special monogrammed items! I'm a prep at heart :) I just like a monogram - first, last, middle initial, not the whole name embroidered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491373 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:37:58 +0000 littlek 491373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love mongrams... I have a bunch of LOs stuff monogrammed, blankets, boppy, towels, clothes, hats, pottery barn chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491366 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:36:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 491366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm meh. For a really special, sentimental item, like their baby blanket, it's fine but I definitely wouldn't want it on everything. Even more so I wouldn't want their name on clothes-- it's just a safety issue-- Johnny, come here, your mom wanted me to pick you up today! I like first initials though. </p> <p>The thing about the special blanket or whatever is you could well end up with 13 "special" monogrammed blankets. We do hope to have more than one, with different names and initials! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491312 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:22:23 +0000 allison 491312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Yeah, I could appreciate a special monogrammed blanket or lovey that was just for this baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-monogrammed-baby-clothingaccessories#post-491311 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:22:23 +0000 lemondrop 491311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my thing, and I hope to re-use clothing as much as possible with later babies. </p>
