We always ask for personalization to be given to us EXACTLY as you would like to appear on your item in the personalization box when placing your order. We will NOT rearrange initials. Be sure to give us initials in the order you would like them. If you are unsure of the correct order of initials, you may follow our style guide below. If you still have questions, feel free to contact us by using our contact form, emailing us at sales@thegiftingspot.com, or by live chat in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
