Shower Thank Yous

Okay, quick question. Should shower thank you notes be signed from both me and my fiance or just me?

Re: Shower Thank Yous

  • Just you.  A thank you can really only ever be written by one person, so even the wedding thank yous should just be signed by one of you (whoever's writing it).  Include him in the note like "Dear Aunt Sally, Thank you so much for the lovely platter, FI and I can't wait to use it the next time we have you over for dinner!  Love, heroes"
  • Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard once whoever attends the shower should sign. So if your FI attended, you both should sign it but if it was only you, then you sign the card. I think PPs wording covers both bases, however. 
  • Kate's wording is technically appropriate.

    In reality, every shower/wedding thank you I've ever received was jointly signed by the couple. I was just honored to receive a nice thank you note that I didn't even remotely care about who signed it.
  • Most of the time it's just the bride, but it can depend on the gift too. My husband almost died and went to heaven over a Jiffypop we got at my bridal party. I didn't see the harm in conveying his enthusiastic appreciation along with my own.
