Baby shower question...

Do you write the baby shower card out to the mom to be or the parents to be?
Also, should I sign it from me, or me and dh?
Thanks!

I think either way is fine. I think I would write the card out to both parents, since it is a gift to both of them... and as for signing the card, I would include your DH because the gift is from both of you.

I have no clue because the first one I am going to this weekend is my own!! hehe

But I would think just to the Mom to be, just like a bridal shower was basically just for the Bride to be unless it was a Jack and Jill/Couples Shower.

IMO it's one last hurrah for the Mom to be and it is to shower her with gifts for her new arrival or if Jewish and the baby is born her and the baby.

Again if it was a couples shower I would include the Dad, but I know on my invites my Host put it's a Shower for Laurie Ann and my host really doesn't even expect Dh to come to it and lol, she is his mom. In our families men stay far away from any type of shower and just go to the bar, beer b que or play golf so I don't expect to see many cards from a husband and wife especially since only women and children were invited.

You may want to put from Christy 'whatever your last name' is on the card or your husband's name IF the mom to be might go blank and need a reminder of which Christy it is.

Good Luck and have fun! I really don't think there are any set rules so I think your good anyway you do it. I just thought I'd share what our families do.

I always write out to both. I'm of the thinking that there wouldn't be a shower for the woman if it weren't for the man. He's as much involved
