Bridal Shower Thank You Notes

Does FI help write/sign the thank you notes from my bridal shower since the gifts are from our wedding registry and will be used by both of us? Or do I write/sign them by myself since the shower was thrown for me and not both of us? I feel like this is an absolutely stupid question, but my mom confused me, and I just want to make sure before I start writing these out.

Re: Bridal Shower Thank You Notes

  • I didn't sign DH's name to mine, since the shower was thrown for me and not the both of us.  If I remember correctly, the gifts weren't addressed to me and DH, but just to me, so that was the other reason I left his name off signing cards.  If the shower is for both or you, or gifts are addressed to both of you, you could have him sign the cards as well.  

    If you want to include him in the thank you's, you could always tie him in within the note, about how excited you both will be to make waffles on the weekends for each other with your new waffle iron, etc. 



  • That's how I thought it worked, but my mom kept talking about how I shouldn't seal the envelopes until FI had signed them. Thank you for clarifying!

  • Shower gifts and wedding gifts are the same thing to me. Unless it was a lingerie shower where the gifts are clearly just for you, then these are items purchased from the same list that people attending the wedding and buying a gift will be purchasing from. Sign both your names.

  • I think he should sign them. These are gifts for the TWO of you to start your new life together. It isn't a birthday party for you.
  • Since the bridal shower gifts were addressed to me I signed the thank you notes myself, with the exception of one gift addressed to both of us.  But I mentioned how much we would both enjoy using the wafflemaker, refresher set, etc. when applicable.  Like what WinstonsGirl suggested above.
  • Thanks for all the great advice!
