I'm going to a coworker's wedding and a bunch of us are going in on a gift. Should I sign my date's name to the card? I've been dating him for a couple months so she's heard about him, but has not yet met him.

Yes. If he is attending the wedding he is "expected" to bring a gift, so you should definitely include him on the card.
And, since you've only been dating a few months and it is your co-workers wedding (rather than a friend of both of you), I would not expect him to chip in on the gift. You invited him to a wedding, so it is your responsibility.

This is purely my opinion, but I wouldn't include the date's name unless the date had something to do with the gift. If he helped you pick it out or helped purchase it, then sure, but if not, I'd just put your name. Others may have a different answer... :)

If you are going in with co-workers on the gift then only the group of co-workers should put their names in the card. If you were gving a gift privately then, yes, you would sign your boyfriend's name along with your own.

A throwback to a Sex and the City episode!
Yes, if your guest is arriving without a gift of his own or a card, I think his name should be included.

I think it would be a nice gesture if you are going as a couple. That way he will be on the thank you card and I think it would be nice all the way around.

Is your date piching in on the gift as well? If he is then put his name on, if not then leave it off.

You should only put the names of the people who chipped in.

no, i don't think so. just yours is fine. if it is one card for one gift, then everyone who contributed to the gift would be good to have on there.

did your date contribute $$ to the gift?
if so, sign the name
if they have not met, don't ask him to contribute
