Baby Shower?

Question

I am attending a girls only babyshower. Should I include my husband's and son's name on the card?

Answer 1

If your husband and son are very close to the family of the party you're attending, then I would. But otherwise if it's just one of your friends, I probably wouldn't. Although it doesn't really matter at all, and most likely she won't even notice. I sometimes do, sometimes don't. Whatever I'm feeling like that day :o)

Answer 2

I would just put your name only on the card but at my baby shower (all girls only too), some of my friends put their husband's names too. I thought it was a little weird.

Answer 3

It really doesn't make a bit of difference either way but the way I do it is to put my name on the card and his next to mine in ( ) when its an all girls bash and the mother knows my husband (like a relative or co-worker). If she doesn't know him or it is just my friend, then I just use my name.

Answer 4

I always just put my name on the card for the shower gift, but give another gift that includes everyone's name after the baby is born. :)

Answer 5

I am not an expert on proper etiquette, but my instincts say - of course! It is nice to know that the gift is from everyone, not just you.
