Thanks for your question Lavy,

Since the baby shower is just for the male co-worker, I would address the card only to him. I think it would seem kind of funny to address the card to the mother also if she will not be at the shower. But you can also write inside the card something like “congrats to you and (wife’s name)”.

It’s not necessary to include your spouse’s name when you sign the card, but it’s not a bad thing either. If you want your gift/greeting card to be from the both of you, then include his name. But this is a matter of personal choice.
