So My husband and I are expecting our first child in September. He has an 11 year old from a previous relationship. Her and I do not have the best relationship. Anyways, I had my first baby shower this past Saturday, and I'm working on my Thank You notes and Im not sure how to sign them. DO I sign them from Myself and the baby? Myself, the baby and My husband, or myself, my husband, the baby and also my step daughter? I can see doing myself , hubby and baby, but feel its kind of weird to include her in the thank you since all of the baby gear we got does not really benefit her.
Opinions?

That's how I feel. We didnt write her name on our wedding Thank you's so IDK why this would be any different.

I have seen people sign them several ways:

Mousie Family (Last name to include everyone)
Minnie Mouse (the mom to be's name only)
Sally Mouse (unborn baby - the cards usually are "I will really love ___ thanks")

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think people care who signs a Thank You card. I would just sign it from you. For some reason it seems to be the Christmas card debacle that gets everyone going.

I am to the point where I don't even want to send Christmas cards anymore because I am so worried about how I sign the damn things... like the ones I send to people who have never met skids and don't know them from adam, get signed Daizy, DH, and BS2. but then Gawd forbid, MIL, SIL and such I must include skids or I am the evil step mom.

Christmas cards are like this ....
Far and away older relatives : DH, Me and family
People closer to our age or family we know well: DH, Me 'and assorted offspring'.

Baby shower cards should come from you. You were the recipient of the gifts. Your child is not born yet. Or "Dh and you" because you are the parents. If anyone gave a specific gift for SD then she should write her own thank you notes. "Thank you for the Big Sister T-Shirt. I can't wait to wear it. Love PITA S/Kid.
