Question roughly speaking giving shower gifts?
My husband's cousin and his fiancee are expecting a baby. I adore both of them and am really excited!
Her shower is coming up next month and I'm going to it.
So. for the presents I'm giving, how should I address the cards?
Should it be to: the mom, the mom and dad, or the mom and baby to be?
And, can I sign them from both myself and my husband even though he won't be at the shower? (its women solitary, of course!)
If its appropriate, I'd like to sign them from both of us because I've bought a TON of stuff and would feel better if it come from both of us and not just me!
I made a gift basket near lots of nice baby clothes, socks, blankets, a nursing cover, and baby mirrors for their cars. I spent a lot on it!
Then I also get them a Boppy with a cover, and an additional plush cover.
As you can see... I've kind of be going crazy with the baby stuff for them! :)
So. What do I put for "To" and "From"??
I other address it to the baby if you know the name I put
TO: Baby ____
if the name or sex is unknown I put
TO: Baby (Last Name)
I other list everyone in our family surrounded by the From: Part. just because the rest of the family isn't present at the shower doesn't mean they don't guardianship and wish the new baby and line the best of wishes and care!
You can do it however you want...I approaching to address it to the baby:) It can be from both of you, it won't be breaking any etiquette laws.
I had a friend who put together a picnic basket of clothes..but she attached the clothes to a clothesline so when the line was pulled out all the little outfits be on the line...it was soooooooooo cute and everyone could see all the clothes!
I would address the card to mother and toddler. It seems like since the father won't be at the shower it's really not necessary or traditional to address the gifts to him, however since it is ethnic group, I would go ahead and address it to the family. Or you cut corners all together and only address it to the baby. I always did that, and I would make a really cute label for it with just the baby's name on it, or if he/she hasn't be named yet you could just put "Baby".
Also for formality's sake I would assume that you would sign them from you and your husband, since they are relatives. Especially if it is his side of the family.
i would address it to mom and baby and then i would right to be heard from your family...
Example : with love from the smiths.
actually my hubs never looked at any of the cards, so i dont reflect he really cared if they included him or not, if you think this guy might care, you could speak to their family name and new infant
example -- to the smith family and their new baby.
Answers: I'd make it to mom, dad, and little one. That is what I always do! Especially if you know the baby's name already. If not at least put it to the mom and dad. Make it from you and your husband. Source(s): Landon and Ellie's Mommy.
I other address the card to both parents to be
I put from: me, my husband, my kids names
Honestly it won't even matter, she will not be paying close attention to that anyway but nice of you to think of this...
ok...gross the card out to mommy, daddy, and baby to be...(so daddy doesnt feel left out, because believe it or not, it does hurt em...)
sign the card from everyone contained by ur family (u &hubby)
that way they know that he cares too (even if he doesnt, its a nice gesture) Source(s): mommy of 2
