I really don't like the idea of opening gifts at the bridal shower. I always disliked that part of a shower as a guest because it's so boring, long, and awkward. I understand that guests take the time to buy the gift and wrap it and some want to see it opened and be recognized, but I really want to avoid it. I'm going to have 50 guests so it will take a long time to open everything.
Has anyone done a "viewing table" where guests are asked to bring the gifts unwrapped and displayed on a table with their card? Of course I would say thank you to everyone because I do appreciate it. And obviously I'd send thank you cards.
What is your opinion?
A. Have a viewing table with unwrapped gifts and cards
B. Gift table with wrapped gifts, but do not open
C. Just bite the bullet and open the gifts in front of everyone
