Thank you notes etiquette?

in January 2011 Moms

Hey guys...just a quick question about thank you notes for shower gifts. I am going to get started on these and was just curious how to sign them? Do I just put my name on them? Or do I put DH's name on them as well? He wasn't there, it wasn't a couples shower or anything. I'm just curious...want to make sure I do them correctly!

Thanks!

    I've been signing mine, "Me, DH, and baby", but using our actual names (including baby's), of course :)

    I used "we" can't wait to blah blah blah with your gift throughout, but signed most of them Love, Noelle and Baby ______ (name is secret)

    I've been signing all mine with just my name, I didnt really think about it too much. I am just trying to get them all done. I have 75+ thank you's to write and it's taking forever!!

    I'm varying depending on who it is and how well FI knows them.

    I believe I signed them with my name and my husband's name.  I thought it would be cute to sign the baby's name too, but my husband wasn't into it, so I didn't do it.

    ETA: I don't know if it makes a difference, but my shower was coed - so my husband was there opening gifts with me.  That's probably why I signed his name too.

    I singed them from husband and myself, as they are all family and mutual friends.

     

    Speaking of thank you notes, to add to the question, when people get you a basket full of stuff (let's say bath time stuff), do you girls list everything that they gave you, or just pick a few or just say Thank you for all the bathtime goodies". I have been trying to list everything, but there are a few that got me a ton of little random things... thoughts?

    I would probably do something like "Thank you for the bath items for the baby! I especially love the cute hooded towel and baby lotion-I can't wait to see how adorable baby looks in the towel and to use the lotion as part of our bedtime routine."

    I started mine yesterday and signed them my name and "the munchkin"  because he is a nameless baby right now
