To not know how to write a Christmas card

[Embmum]

I’m sitting writing out my Christmas cards and every single one is more difficult to address than the last. What is the proper etiquette for ‘to’ when writing cards from the whole family. Do I write the recipients names as though It’s from me? Or my partner? Or my kids?
For example: a card to my Dad and Step Mum. Should I write ‘To Dad and Susan’, ‘To Grandpa John and Granny Susan’ or ‘To John and Susan’

Am I overthinking the whole thing?

If writing from the whole family I would put ‘to Dad and Susan’.

I don’t do cards anymore, but when I did I didn’t put ‘to xxxx’ inside at all. The card says ‘Merry christmas’ or Whatever, I just put love from [our names] under that. From my perspective, so my relationship to the recipient, eg form Aunty cardi or whatever.

I never put 'To ...' inside the card. They know who it's to from the addressee(s on the envelope. I just put 'love and best wishes from...' to everyone. I'm so boring.

I write them from me. I do my side of the family and DH does his if they’re people he address as a relation (eg mum, nan etc).

If we call them by their first name only, then I generally just write them because I’m more bothered about sending cards than DH is.

If there are multiple different relationships I would just write 'Wishing you both a very Happy Christmas and New year love from your name, partners name and children xxx. ' Dad and Susan on the envelope, or if through the post whatever form of address is appropriate. You don't really need to write 'to' in the cars every time. You are over thinking it, but understandably.

Just write “Merry Christmas Bitches” inside all them with no other words.Thats what I do.

We don't write cards but when we get them in return they say Love from Dad/Grandad/Bill and Grandma/Ellen (FIL and stepMIL) inside! FIL is a wants all bases covered. Actually thinking about it, if we write birthday cards to parents we put Dad or Mum and sign both our names, even though we call our ILs by their first names. I don't think there is a right or wrong way.

Oh no, I hate cards that aren't addressed! You feel you're just getting one of a pile of cards signed without any thought. Sorry. I'd rather send less but write them thoughtfully.

Close family get separate cards from my daughter but for friends and extended family when it's coming from all three of us I address it using the names I would use for those people (and DH does the same for his family).

Ignore the stray " is a" in last message. Odd phone.

Thanks everyone! Seems there’s no set rule which is good because I was worried about breaking some sort of card writing etiquette that everyone else got taught in home economics on a day I’d decided to stay in bed. Gone with the ‘Dad and Susan’ option!

I write cards from my perspective, and sign off with all our names. The kids make and write their own card once able.
