How to sign this card?

[cashmerecardigans]

Hi
This feels like a slightly stupid question, but can I ask how you sign a card to your child and their partner? If it's to both of them do you sign it Mum and Dad or use your names? It seems weird be be signing it as mum when my daughter in law isn't my daughter. I realise I am probably over thinking this though

My parents write Mum/Name and Dad/Name. We address cards to them in the same way. My in laws just write 'Mum and Dad' and it weirds me out because they're not my parents.

When Mum sends us a joint card, e.g. Christmas, she signs it as mum. For DH's birthday, she signs her name.
No confusion caused!

I think MIL does

Mum (Susan)

Yes same.

I also feel weird putting boyfriends name in a mother or Father's Day card. Or a birthday card that says mum on the front. I do the second now but still don't include him in Mother's Day cards (as they don't tend to just say happy Mother's Day but more "your the best mum in the world" type which isn't applicable to my boyfriend who has his own mum.

Ok so a couple of opinions but I think I'll go with Mum (name).
I've got a feeling in the past I've just put mum but it's just occurred to me that that is a bit weird

Yep, same here, on both sides. Nobody gets confused because we all know who we are and how we are related!

Ah so more on the just mum front now. That's my default, maybe it's not so weird after all then.

I don’t think it’s weird to put ‘mum’.

When they send you a birthday card from both of them presumably they put ‘Mum’ on the envelope, not ‘Cardigans’?

I definitely don't put mum on the envelope! Royal Mail would not cope!

@LudicrouslyCapaciousBag yes that's a good point, they do just put Mum, I'll stick with that

Oh yeah, works the other way too.
Dear Mum
From Irritable and DH

For his side, he'd sign it from DH and Irritable

It would be weird if we sent a card to FIL and signed it from me first.

It's not a huge deal though is it? Whatever you prefer or are used to doing. It is always nice to get a card!

We never send birthday or christmas cards but dd1 getting married soon so we will give them a card and although I hadn't given it a thought before this thread I will sign it mum and dad.

Doh, I shouldn’t have put ‘send’! I meant when you hand over the card in person 🤦🏻‍♀️

We (me!) tend to sign "from the Parental Units". However DD is getting married soon and we will be a little more formal in the wedding card - probably "Mum and Dad".

I always find it ridiculous if I send a card to DH that says "To my husband" or "To the one I love". After 40+ years of marriage if he needs to check who the card is from we are in trouble!
