To ask you to settle an argument about birthday/Christmas cards etc?

Is it weird to put your partners name on a mum, dad, brother or sister card.

So say I'm getting my dad a birthday card, is it weird to put my dp/dh and possibly my children's name on it? Or should we all get separate cards with the appropriate relation on?

Also is it weird to send a wedding card to your brother/sister as opposed to the bride and groom?

It's not weird. It's from your DH and his family.

Your DH must be related to my MIL. She needs to find a card that describes exactly the occasion, as if she's incapable of writing it herself.

I discovered recently that you can get cards with the words 'grand-daughter' and 'graduation' on them. MIL was fretting however because it didn't specify 'Masters'!! I suspect she just wanted to boast to the shop assistant ...

I never buy 'mum' cards. But if DH did for his mum then I would sign it. That said, she sends me cards and signs it Mum.

We put all of us on cards - i think its weird to get all seperate ones.

You can get sister wedding cards - when i got married one of my db got a "to a wonderful sister and brother-in-law" card - it actually had the sweetest wording of them all. Plus my mom n dad got a "daughter and son-in-law" one. So they arent all just to the "bride and groom".

We put all names on all cards. I can see where he's coming from but buying separate cards is silly.

My in-laws specialise in buying really specific cards. I think the record so far goes to a "Happy New Year, Daughter and Son-in-Law" card. Not sure what was wrong with writing "and a Happy New Year" in the Christmas one the previous week!

My FIL sends specific cards to us, it's not my taste at all, and I'd rather have a message from him than from Hallmark. dd once had the same card two years in a row, she wasn't at all happy! They all come from FIL and his partner, all written by him.

My mother on the other hand sends us random postcards at random times of the year with slightly odd but very loving messages, my side of the family isn't not huge on occasions! I don't think I've ever bought an occasion card except when being sent out by work colleagues to buy 'Sorry you are leaving' type cards for everyone to sign. Oh and Valentines cards way back when I was a teenager.

Card Factory do "to the dog/cat" and "from the dog/cat" Christmas cards. Waste of money imo, all of my dogs (and husband and bump) go on all of my cards.
