Shower Gifts

I would wait to open gifts until the shower. Your shower guests might be wanting you to open the gifts in front of them!

I would open them and send a thank you ASAP. If they wanted you to open them at the shower, they would bring them to the shower.

I would take them with you unopened to the shower if they RSVP'd yes. They may have sent them directly to you for the sake of convenience if they purchased directly from your registry and may still want you to open them when they're there! If that doesn't end up being the case, no harm no foul and no risk of hurting anyone's feelings for not seeing you open their gift

We had several people send us gifts to our house and still come to our shower. They just wanted to make it easier on us. We opened right away and sent thank you notes right away. We did not bring them to our shower.

I'd just open them and send thank you cards asap after

I opened the gifts that we given to us up until the week before my bridal shower (I didn't want to be rude & not send a thank you not in a timely fashion).

Any gifts that were delivered the week leading up to my bridal shower I had FH drop off early (when everyone was setting off). That way they were there, and it wasn't super inconvenient.

I agree with Cher only because this happened to me! And the scenario was that it was a mistake on BB&B's end. They were supposed to send it to my aunt's house but they sent it to us. So we opened it but she was going to the shower. My mom got the scoop that it was a mistake and asked her if we wanted to bring it to the shower. She would've liked us to but again I already opened it (But not even it literally just came in the pot set box and had plastic wrapped around it). If you could have whoever is hosting ask them if they meant to send it to your house or not. If they say yes fine open it then go for it.
