so, i had a baby shower on 1/26 and now i'm getting the thank you cards ready...they are all filled out w/ addresses and such and sealed. BUT i just found out that i was suppose to write my boyfriend's name (son's father) too; i just wrote " love danielle"--instead of love danielle and nick.....so do i have to re-do ALL of these cards??background: he was not invited to party, but he showed up later to help load gifts. some cards were address to just me and other cards were address to the both of us---cant remember what card was what though.HELP!NO...his name is not on the return address!!! i thought i was just suppose to write the cards from me, since the baby shower was done for me....even though my boyfriend and son will appericate the gifts of course....did i totally screw up!!??

Your name is fine. Don't worry so much about that. Is his name on the returned address? Either way don't worry:) Congrats on th baby:)

I wouldn't worry about it, people aren't going to care as long as they get a thank you card.

No, you dont have to redo them all. In the IDEAL situation, he maybe should have been put on the card, but I had two baby showers.. one I included him, because I Remembered, and the other ones I forgot to too. Dont sweat it.

I wouldn't sweat it. At all.... You have to much else going on ( the impending birth of your child) . If you do redo them, you might want to add the baby too. My thank you cards were simply Love baby Mckinney....

i wouldnt stress, everyone will know he is thankful too. just send them and let it go. the shower is predominately for women any way. i cant imagine anyone would look at it and say "that darn nick, he didnt even put his name on here! how ungrateful!"i mean would you think that? i know i wouldnt.congrats on the baby

LoL! I already sent mine out and I just signed my name, my mom told me that it would be improper to sign his too since it was a female only party. I don't think you need to redo them, besides, I kinda think its tacky when people sign other people's names. I guess I wrote about experiences from the party and all that good stuff so he wouldn't know about it anyways....I just did Love Chelsea. People are going to be impressed that you actually got around to even sending out thank you's so soon, I doubt anyone will even notice that!Just send them and don't worry!Congrats!

Place the sealed cards in the freezer for an hour or so, and they will unseal easily, then you can add your boyfriends name, and reseal.

I have been to many baby showers and I think it is sufficient to give thanks with your name only. If it still concerns you consider writing on the back of the sealed envelope "Thanks from Danielle and Nick!" in a colorful pen or marker, it would look cute.

I would not worry about it most people will not even notice and if they did it is not anything that would be offensive to anyone.

you're not married and he didn't attend so no you don't have to redo them to include his name.

I had a baby shower the same day! I decided that since it was a female party, just to sign my name. I wouldn't worry about it. People don't get uptight about things like this anymore. I signed his name to the cards from his family from out of town who mailed gifts in.
