take the gifts to my gmas and open them the sunday after, that way the family can see us open them since its such a life threatening thing if they dont, OR we have the reception hall till midnight so do the short reception, do take pictures all that fun stuff, then the ones that want to see us open gifts can stay. i just really dont want to open gifts in front of people because god only knows what may be in those boxes...

    Just remember that it is your day not hers and you can find a way to let her know what you want without breaking out into a full blown argument. She is your mother and wants to give you her opinion, but it is your wedding, don't forget that.
