Bridal Shower Thank-You Display

The majority of people are sending gifts from my registry to my address. I have been sending thank you cards as I receive the gifts but I also wanted to thank people at the actual shower. A few of my friends have been to showers where the bride had a poster/frame with a list of names and gifts received. Has anyone done this before? I've been all over google, etsy, and pinterest looking for samples but cant seem to find any.

I think it would be a nice way to thank people for their gifts since I wont be opening them there. I'll still be opening the gifts that people do bring to the party. Thoughts?

I would just say a few words at the end of the shower thanking those who had their gifts delivered.

I think that's awkward in my opinion. It might make people feel bad if their gift isn't as expensive or they aren't on the board

I think it's cute if you are opening other gifts at the shower.

I go back and forth on the issue of making people feel bad if their gift wasnt as "nice" but I think I can combat that by not dropping names or numbers in the description.

"Thank you...Aunt Jane for the beautiful bedding, Grandma for the white dish set, Emily for the oval platter, etc."

I know the older crowd wants to be publicly acknowledged for their gifts since they would have if they brought the gifts to the shower. Part of me just wants to say a little something and not have to deal with making anything!

I think maybe just say something to each of them. What if someone didn't get something as nice as others? I'd be embarrassed. Like present shaming

This was a worry of mine. One reason I'm choosing not to open gifts at the shower. If the older generation wants theres opened ok, we'll open a few. But I find the whole opening of gifts in front of people incredibly awkward. Not a fan of that much attention on me.
