bridal shower thank-you notes

Am I supposed to sign the thank you notes from both of us, or just from me?  Obviously we both will you some of the gifts (like a wine rack and a milk frother) but others, like an apron and a Victoria's Secret card, were mostly for me.

Any ideas would be helpful!

  • I'm in the camp that the person writing the note is the only one that signs the note.  If the gift is meant for both of you, you can mention your FI in the note:

    Dear Aunt Jane,

    Thank you so much for the wine rack.  FI and I cannot wait to use it as we build our collection.  It was great to see you at the shower!

  • Ditto PP. The person writing the note signs it. I've been writing things like "Dear Jane, Thank you for the baking sheets. I can't wait to make my first batch of cookies. FI and I hope to see you at the wedding! -notyetavet" I've been trying to mention my FI in the thank yous to his family members that I don't know as well...

  • I did what PP mentioned.  In my thank you note I said things like "we can't wait to use the crockpot" or "thanks for the gift card, my H and I will make great use of it"  but then I signed the cards with just my name, not Hs.

  • PP seem to have this covered :)
  • Thanks everyone!  That's what I figured, but I wanted to double check before I screwed up.

  • When I am writing out the thank you note, do I make it out to the husband & wife or just the wife who gave me the present?
