Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do some items not have all of the font selections on them?

A: The font selections are set up by our engravers as to what will look the best for each item depending on the engraving area. Some gifts can accommodate a monogram font and others do not have a large enough engraving area. Some items are engraved only with the font shown.

Q: If I order a frame will it be engraved horizontally or vertically?

A: In some cases we are only able to engrave the frame the way in which it is displayed. Frames that can be engraved either way, will be listed as such. If you do not specify which way for the frame to be engraved when providing your engraving instructions, it will be done vertically.

Q: What if I don’t choose a font?

A: If you do not specify a font when providing your engraving instructions, we engrave your items with the default font for that item. Available fonts are in the item description.
