text: when giving a wedding gift, should you include your dates's name on the card? i'm going to a coworker's wedding and a bunch of us are going in on a gift. should i sign my date's name to the card? i've been dating him for a couple months so she's heard about him, but has not yet met him. yes. if he is attending the wedding he is "expected" to bring a gift, so you should definitely include him on the card.   and, since you've only been dating a few months and it is your co-workers wedding (rather than a friend of both of you), i would not expect him to chip in on the gift. you invited him to a wedding, so it is your responsibility.
