I just don't know the etiquette here, and likely there isn't one because who's dealt with a world wide pandemic. So my bridal shower was scheduled for mid-June. I live in NYC though so even with things starting to think about relaxing, it's unlikely that's going happen. Even with a small guest list, it's just not possible to expect strangers to gather. The invites, which had been sent at the beginning of this, said to let the person in charge of RSVP's know your contact info so they can inform of possible changes of date because, ugh, 'rona. But ... since I live in Queens and the shower is in Manhattan, they also mentioned sending any gifts to my place directly even if the shower went as planned. Just to save my fiance from having to drive into Manhattan and filling our tiny car or trying to make multiple trips. So, today I received two gifts. Do I open them? Likely my shower probably won't actually happen til August/September now. If I open them do I sent the people who sent them a text or something to acknowledge the gift? I plan on sending thank you cards after the shower obv. whenever that happens, but since that may be far away .... Ahhhh I just don't wanna be rude. But also weird. My friends are easy, it's the aunts that I don't talk to as much (at all) or mom's friends. And would they feel like "um it's not your shower, why did you open them". I know I'm overthinking this, but I'd still like to hear other opinions.
