I feel so terrible about opening gifts. Those that didnt buy gifts that were as costly would feel terrible. I dont plan on opening mines What about you guys??

I've never been 2 a shower where the bride didn't open the gifts. I think people expect it...especially all of the older people...
my mom and bridal party had everyone wrap their gifts in clear plastic wrap and instead of unwrapping all of the gifts (there were a LOT of people there!), we partied and bonded...so much fun!!!!!!!!!
I ended up opening all of mine.. it was quite a lot...lol
i kinda feel like it is expected that you open your gifts at your shower...it is def time consuming, etc, but i feel like it is just what you do...
I WILL NOT be opening ,my gifts because I think it is sooooooooooooooooooooooo boring--I hate showers because of it! I am having a cocktail party shower and it will be co-ed. so it will actually be a big party. It will be held at my home which is great for entertaining so everyone can mingle by the fire place. a bartender is coming in and it will be a martini party. if anyone wants her info fm me. she is reasonable for 3 hrs and supplies all the glasses and sugar for the rims and whatnot. food will be catered-we will have a blast -sing, dance, eat and be merry. i cant wait!
most girls do open, but it's your party, you could do what you want.
A lot of folks will expect you will, but if it's going to take a very long time (like the 2 hours mentioned above), perhaps consider doing it later.
