So WHO do you write a 'baby shower card' out to? Write it out to the baby? Mom? Mom&Dad? And what to write?

Question

Also, if just the ladies are invited to the shower, can we still put 'from me and my husband' on the card? Or just from 'me'?

Same question for a bridal shower where just the ladies are invited...can the gift be from husband too?

Answer 1

Baby shower is just for mom, not for mom and dad... because he's not about to experience 12+ hours of excruciating pain.  The card should be made out to mom or mom and baby.  If you want the gift to be from both you and your husband, that's fine.  You can both sign the card and have you be the representative at the two showers.

Answer 2

we just hosted two seperate baby showers and we had cards written to all three. Personally i think the cards should have been t the baby because the gifts are for the baby , but even when the were adressed to mom and dad it really didnt matter.

I think it can be written from you and your husband if both of u know the expecting couple or person and if your husband prticipated in the thought or actual purchase of the gift , but if strictly your friend then no.

bridal showers i believe are different the card should be just from u.

Answer 3

Make the baby shower card out to Mom and Baby signed by you and husband.  Make bridal shower cards out to the bride (and groom if you want) signed by just you...no hubby.

Answer 4

I would write to mom and baby. Dads typically arent too into the showers. If he is include him.

Answer 5

Usually you address to the mom, and sign it only from you. And you can write something like:

Congratulations! Wishing you and your child a life filled with love, health and happiness

Answer 6

baby shower:

"Dear Mom & Dad's name's here,

Congratulations on your new baby! Hope your new addition brings you joy, and we are looking forward to his/her bright future ahead.

Love,

Your name & husbands name"

Bridal shower: i would put your name and husbands name

hope i could help!

Answer 7

Send out cards to your girlfriends. Don't expect their husbands to attend.

Answer 8

Well, Say the dads name is Jon and the moms name is Jane and the new baby is Susan. On the card, you could write : To John, Jane and Susan. Then on the inside of the card you and your husband both sign it.

Answer 9

yeah they dont really care whos names on it anyway if you really thinkabout it but you can put your firstname with married last name, then they would automaticly know its you lol

and for the baby shower card thing you make it out to the mom and dad

Answer 10

The gift is to the mom. I would just write "Dear mom".

I sign all cards from the whole family. Regardless of what others may consider proper, a gift from my family is from the whole family.

Honestly though, a pregnant woman with a sore back and swollen feet and a pile of presents to work through isn't going to pay much mind to your card for over 10 seconds.

Answer 11

With the baby shower u write to the mom and the baby.

At a  bridal shower its best if you just say its from you. Hope this helps =)

Answer 12

well if the gift is for just the baby make it out to the baby if it is for mom and dad then for mom and dad if just for mom or just for dad then write as such. and if it is for both mom and baby or dad and baby then write as such. indicate it from husband and wife. and for bridal shower just the woman. this was a very good question. i never thought of it that way
