Ricky and I received three HUGE boxes from Bed, Bath and Beyond last night. So - I opened them b/c um, I need to know who they're from right? It turns out that they're from FI's Godparents, and Cousin. I consolidated the three boxes into one, and left it at my house w/my mother.
Fast forward to today, when FMIL calls me and tells me 'You shouldn't have opened those. They're for the shower.'
I responded with 'How do I know they're for the shower if the shower's supposed to be a surprise? I just assumed that they were sent to the house b/c the giver is unable to attend the shower.'
FMIL responds with 'Common sense Christine, she didn't want to haul everything from Long Island for the shower.'
I respond 'The packages were addressed to us, and didn't list a sender.'
FMIL responds with 'Well, they're coming to the shower, so if you wouldn't mind wrapping them up again.'
I respond 'They didn't come wrapped, but I'll wrap our gifts again, and act surprised at my shower.'
W T F did I do wrong???? If you were in my situation would you have opened it or waited?

People who were invited to my shower who couldnt come either went to the store to buy them to have them shipped elsewhere or waited til after the shower and had them sent to me so the surprise wasnt ruined!
Exactly

I would have opened them too. How are you supposed to know. My godmother didn't want to carry all the presents the day of, but at least she sent them to my sister's house and not mine.

Thanks ladies, you made me feel a bizzilion times better. I was more upset about the condescending tone she took with me (common sense remark.)

I absolutely would have opened them! How were you supposed to know! They should have been mailed to another family member or called to give you a heads up so you wouldn't open them.
