Address Labels for Thank Yous. Whose Name?

Since I know nothing about etiquette . . . whose name should be on the address labels for the Thank Yous for the bridal shower? I remember receiving the thank yous with labels on them but I don´t remember whose name was on it.

Is it just my name because it was 'my' shower? Or is it both of our names because the gifts are really for both? I guess the same would go for whose name should 'sign' the thank you.

ETA: I just realized I worded this strangely. I´m talking about the return address labels that go in the corner. I´ve seen people get ones with a cute design on them.

The card should be addressed to whomever attended the bridal shower. And it should be signed by whomever was at the shower. If the shower was co-ed and your FH was there, then the thank you card should come from you both. If the shower was for just you, then it should come from just you.

I used my every day return labels for my shower thank yous. I think its mostly what you prefer to do.

I'm pretty sure I just put our address, no name. That's what I usually do anyway, mostly since I'm lazy!

I remember trying to figure this out myself.. I ordered return labels from Vistaprint for free... and had the colors match my thank you cards... BUt they had just my name on them. I also signed the cards with just my name mostly bc we had a traditional shower and i guess techcnically its thrown for the girl. Although in the card i always refered to us, or we.. as in 'we cant wait to use your cheese grater' =)

I guess it is whatever your preference is..

I also had Mr. and Mrs. Last Name labels made up for our wedding thank yous.. and i figured it would be poor form to use those for the shower thank yous.. although I was anxious too! =)

This is exactly why I was asking. I´m doing them on Vistaprint as well!! I think I´ll just put my name on it for the shower.
