Bridal SHower question! Xposted

OKAY. I am soo supposed to be working but I had a strange question for you ladies.

I am happily starting to get some bridal shower gifts at my parents house.

But what is the standard with these?

Do you open them now? or wait until the bridal shower? When do you send the thank you? (if you do open it now)
& should you have someone bring those presents to the Bridal shower to open them?

I am just realize how much I do not know about bridal showers..lol
