My shower is coming up soon and so far all of the gifts that have been purchased off my registry have been mailed to my house, leaving no gifts at the shower. Should I be bringing these gifts to the shower so I have something to open and/or display? Thanks for your advice.

Same thing has happened to me so far 😂🤷 My mom said my aunt sent hers by mistake though so she's going to pick it up when she's here some weekend before the shower.

Are the gifts you’re getting at the house wedding or shower gifts? In my family and friend circles you typically send the wedding gifts to the bride and groom but physically being the shower gift to the shower. But I wouldn’t bring the gifts sent to your house to the shower if it were me

They’re shower gifts. A lot of the family said they didn’t feel like having to carry and bring the gifts so they sent them to our house.

Hmm it seems like a lot of trouble to bring the gifts to the shower. Do you think you'll have a lot of other gifts to open? Do you have any activities planned for the shower?

I would bring them to the shower to open them there! I also received a lot of my shower gifts in advance and I saved them all to open at the shower itself.

If they were clearly shower gifts, then I would probably bring them to the shower to open there. I guess if you know who sent their shower gift directly to you, then that's ok, although I'm not sure why your family would expect you to cart them all to the shower. They probably meant for you to get/use them now, not thinking that you wouldn't have anything to open at the actual shower. So, I say do whatever makes you most comfortable.
