[QUOTE]This may seem like a stupid question. When writing a thank you for a gift I received at the bridal shower do I address it to just the woman who gave it to me or both her and her husband? Also, is it fine for me to sign my name and my FI? Thanks.

<div>I can't remember what I did, but I think you would address it to both, since it's <em>their </em>money. Also, I would absolutely sign it for both of you, seeing that it's a gift for both of you! :)</div>

[QUOTE]Usually it is fine to address it just to her, unless she included her spouse on the card, then it should be addressed to them both. Don't sign FI's name or have him sign it, just mention him in the note.

Congrats, Jess!  How exciting!

I addressed it to both if both were listed on the card, but to only the woman if only she signed the card.  It's hard to say whether it was "their" money or "her" money.  I know plenty of couples that have separate money.

I did the same thing.

I've always received TY notes addressed to just me.

Address is to whoever signed the card, so just the woman is fine if she didn't put his name on there.  Like Liatris said you should really only sign your name, but mention your FI in the note.  "Bob and I can't wait to use the new platter you gave us, it matches our china perfectly.  Thanks again!  cmbredenbeck"
