Where do you sign cards?

[GoingToInfinity]

Please help settle an argument between DH and I.

Every time it comes to write a Birthday card, Christmas card etc. we always disagree where to sign it. I maintain you should sign it on the left, and he says you should sign in the middle. We received a Christmas card from a friend today signed in the right --and we're cutting her out of our lives forever..

AIBU to ask where you sign your cards and help me finally put this argument to rest?

Salutation on the left, message in the middle(ish), depending on length, sign on the right. So you're probably about to cut ME out of your life forever.

Middle. Although my DS goes for left page of the card, top left corner. He’s only in reception though so it’s a forgivable crime at this stage

Middle

Sign in the middle.

I usually sign mine in the middle - but I wouldn't cut someone out of my life if they sign their cards in a different position

Middle.

Though I wouldn’t blink at someone signing on the right.

Signing on the left is weird.

Writing the message and signing on the left hand page is pathological (looking at you SIL)

I sign mine wherever the printed message is so usually on the right hand side when it's open

Kinky, I think the OP means where do you put your signature on the printed right hand message page. So do you sign on the left hand side, middle or right hand side of that page?

Kinky I meant singing on the right hand page on the left hand side of that makes sense.
The left hand page is reserved surely for group cards signed by many people or very long messages otherwise signing there is surely just plain weird?

Seems my DH is proving to be right

I've just remembered an odd form of signature from one couple we are friendly with. There are no 'our names' at the top, which doesn't bother me, but this is what they do :

Left hand side (under the printed message) - she signs :

Have a lovely
Christmas!
Love from
Janet X

Right hand side (under the printed message) - he signs :

With all Good Wishes
to you Both
Happy Christmas!
Roy

(of course, they're not really called Janet and Roy )

Receipent name top left. Message and sign in middle. Signing on right ok, it’s like a letter would be (left is weird)

Surely it depends how and where the printed salutation is printed (or if one exists).

And it depends if you're signing it "Mum" or if you're signing it "Lots of love, Lucinda, Brian, Evadne, Raheem and Blaze."

It's not a formal letter. You kind of have to do a bit of graphic design to balance all the elements.

Normally in the car on the way go whatever event card is for (misses point of thread)

This is an issue???? Surely this is a wind up thread!!!

I had no idea there was a right or wrong way...i just assumed everyone did whatever they wanted.and no-one cared.

Middle...it's just weird signing a card on the left...it's not a letter (and looks a bit 'odd' to me!) But whatever...you can sign it where you like!

Name of recipient on the left, message in the middle, sign on the right.

Left is weird. Your friend who signs on the right has it right, don't cut her out, learn from her! Middle is ok though.
