Who Signs the Thank Yous?
Question: If only the bride-to-be is present at the shower, who should sign the thank you notes for the gifts -- only the bride, or both of the to-be-weds?
Answer: by The Knot
No matter who attends the shower and receives the gifts, all of the wedding gifts are really for both the bride and the groom-to-be regardless of when they’re received — hence, even if the bride herself is the only soon-to-wed attendee, the thank yous should come from both her and her fiancé. The concept of the wedding shower used to be that the gifts were to help the bride-to-be set up her new home — but come on. It’s the new millennium, and the secret is out: metrosexual or not, men can also cook and clean, and they’re going to find all this stuff useful and even enjoyable too. As a matter of fact, co-ed, or “Jack and Jill” showers, are becoming more and more popular, so expect to start seeing more grooms-to-be tearing into those gifts, leaving no question as to who should be giving the thanks.
