Hi all! So I know the tradition is to open gifts at your bridal shower. Personally I get anxiety opening gifts from people in front of them. I feel like my reactions are so fake even if I really like the gift and the whole situation is uncomfortable. I have decided I don't want to do that at my shower. I don't really care if anyone brings me gifts anyway because I feel like the shower is time to really mingle and talk with guests because I know the wedding will be so busy.
So I have a few questions. Do I put something on the invitations stating that there will only be games and food? (Like come celebrate with the bride instead of shower the bride with gifts) What should the order of the party be like? I'm all for games, but is that enough to keep the guests happy? (P.S. there will probably be around 75 guests) Also, brides who have forgone opening gifts, were people disappointed? Thanks!
