do you put your H's name on a baby shower gift?
does it make a difference if the gift is for his friend/family vs your friend/family?

Re: do you put your H's name on a baby shower gift?
Yep. This is what we do too.
Stand up for something you believe in.
thats what i typically do. i went halvsies with my mom on a gift card for my cousin (we didnt go to the shower) and i signed it from my mom and i. Andy was FURIOUS. I was told, "Thats not how you do things!" So.... to the board for a poll! haha.
Yeah, Chris just doesn't care one way or the other when it comes to baby showers. If its a close friend or family I'll do both, but otherwise it'll just be me or whatever.
Along the same line of thought, what do you do for a wedding shower gift? SIL's shower is coming up, and we'll both pay for the gift, but only I will be intending the shower.... but I think I'll put Chris' name on it anyway since it's his sister?

Yeah, that's pretty much how I'm feeling these days...

yeah, this is usually what I do too. He doesn't really care one way or another.
On a shower gift in general, I only put my name on it because I'm the only one attending the shower. If, however, it is for Jay's family and the only reason I'm invited is because I'm his wife (aka wedon't really chat outside of family functions and the like) then I will put his name on it as well.
When Jay was coaxed into coming to the baby shower I threw for our best friends (mom wanted dad there was well and wanted Jay there to keep dad company) I put Jay's name on the card because he was there; if he hadn't been in attendance it would have only had my name on it.
Ditto this.

If it's for my friend or my family member: Just my name
His family member or a mutual friend: Both our names
This goes for both baby & bridal showers
