To Open or Not to Open - Baby Shower Gift Opening Etiquette

If you have a large number of guests opening gifts can be time consuming. I recently attended a baby shower with 35 guests. It took my friend a little over an hour to open her gifts. If you are concerned about gift opening taking up too much time or interrupting your guests fun - don’t be.

First, your guests will continue to chatter and eat throughout the gift opening process. If they seem like a shy bunch encourage them to help themselves to food while mom to be is opening her gifts. Second, make a game out of opening her gifts. Either play the “Don’t Say Baby” game with pacifier necklaces or baby gift bingo.

The majority of your guests want to see what mom to be received. Baby gifts are so adorable - who wouldn’t want to see them.
