I'm invited to a bridal shower this weekend. My boyfriend will also be invited to the wedding (we both know the couple), but the bridal shower is girls only. It's not a lingerie shower or anything - just lunch, and giving gifts for the couple's new home. My question is, on the card that accompanies the gift, should I just write that it's from me, or should I include my boyfriend's name also?

Did your bf have a hand in picking the gift out? Will her fiance be at the party? If either of these is a yes, then I'd put his name too.
Or you can write a short blurb about how happy you two are for the couple and their home blah blah and then you could add his name too.
Otherwise, just yours is fine.

Personally, I feel that if you and your boyfriend are BOTH friends with the couple, it's fine to put his name on the gift as well. If he had a hand in picking out the gift and is friendly with them, too, you should definitely add him. If he doesn't even know what the gift is or doesn't know the couple other than through you and isn't close with them, then I'd only put yourself.
In cases where people are married (if you and your bf have been together for many years), people tend to put both names because by that point, everyone knows you as a couple.

The shower is for the bride and the gift is from you only. Sometimes there are themes, like lingerie, other times they are just household or pampering type gifts. The gift can be more personal for the bride than you would choose for wedding gift.
There is a current trend to buy gifts from couple's registries for shower gifts, then buy an equal gift for the wedding. This trend is really odd to me.

If you and your boyfriend are in a 'serious' relationship and they two of you bought it then yes. Typically you mention your significant other when you are engaged or already married. If you bought it on your own and you guys are just dating then it's from you.

Usually it is just from you since it is a girl's only ordeal. If you do put his name on there, the world will not stop turning. Have fun!

It's from you, since you'll be attending. However the Wedding present should be from both.

Sure put your b/f's name down.

It can be done either way.
