Shower thank you notes

I had a beautiful bridal shower yesterday and am working on my thank you notes today.

FI came the last hour to say hello to everyone and help open presents. Should I sign the thank you cards with both our names or should I sign it with just my name?

Side note- My bridesmaid hosted my shower so they had the shower invite list. As a time saver, they bought my thank you cards and addressed the envelopes for me. It is the ultimate time saver and so thoughtful!

    You should mention your FI in your thank you note, but you should sign only your name.  Something like "Thank you for the beautiful wine glasses.  John and I look forward to using them whenever we have dinner parties.  We're looking forward to seeing you at the wedding  Love, Sue"

    I'm happy you had a great shower!  My bridesmaids will not tell me when mine is, and the anticipation is killing me!

    I agree with PP-- it was YOUR bridal shower, not you and your FI, so people gave the presents to you.

    Wedding presents are for both of you and the TYs should be from both. At least, thats my opinion.

    I put both of our names because we both will be using the gifts not just me. He was there the whole time and even if he wasnt I would have still put his name

    I agree with Karen. Write the note thanking the person for attending your shower and being so generous, etc. and then sign it from you and your fi.

    I signed some with both our names (like for our family and mutual friends).  For the people who are more my friend, I signed just my name but mentioned FI in the note.  I say do whatever feels right when you are writing the note.

    IMO the shower is for the bride because the groom doesn't really want to go (although my FI was there for 85% of mine). The gifts are for your life together as a married couple, you registered for things TOGETHER correct?? Therefore I figured that the gifts were ultimately for both of us and in my thank you notes I signed both of our names.
