Thank you note etiquette (two kids)?

We have a newborn and we've received a couple gifts for him. With my firstborn, I would sign thank you cards with: Love, DH, DBride2006 & DS.

Now that we have two boys... if the gifts is to DS#2, I feel weird signing it like above (leaving out DS#1), but if the gift was just for DS#2, it also seems odd to put DS#1s name on it.

Do you just sign it "DS#2" and not put the parents names on it?  

Son #1: 12.27.08 (6 years)
Son #2: 02.06.12 (2.5 yrs)
Baby #3 due: 02.10.15 (It's a girl!)

  • If I gave a baby a gift to a family, I wouldn't expect their parent to put the older child's name on the thank you note - or really notice, one way or another.

    You may be overthinking this.

  • Usually I just signed from DH & I. For a few gifts that were more for the whole family I signed "love the Smith family"

  • I did a couple different things - many people who got my 2nd a baby gift also got something small for my older DD and in those cases, I signed both of theirs.  If the gift was just for my new baby, I just signed her name.  I rarely include my name or my DH's but I wrote the card as if it was from my girl (s),.

    Ditto.

    And, as a side note, it is one of my pet peeves (albeit a silly one, I know) when people write thank you cards in the child's voice.  Drives me nuts.
