Our engagement party is in a few weeks and my FMIL told us we have to open gifts up not envelopes but gifts. I really do not want to and I told her I didn't want to and she thought i was being difficult. I've asked around and no one seems to have opened during the party. Did anyone open up gifts?
I hate opening gifts in front of people because it is pretty hard to mask your disappointment...try 2 talk her out of it.
we did but only bacause the older people really wanted us to...we also had a small party. we didnt open envelopes tho
ive never seen or heard of this, maybe if you had a small one at the home-MAYBE...we didnt open anything up, we didnt receive any gifts, just cash but even if we did i wouldnt have opened up gifts at the party...an e-party yes ppl bring gifts but it should not be something that is obligated of ppl, by opening up gifts it might show that it was EXPECTED
no I didn't open any of them until we got home
We only got a few and we didn't. you don't have to do anything your not comfortable with.
nope, didnt open them.
We opened them after, just tell her you don't feel comfortable and would like to open them later. You will be sending thank you's
