| I think people would be upset if you didn't open their gift while they were there. Part of a shower is the gift opening...it is expected so don't worry about boring people. |

| Yes they would be offended and the guests would go home and talk about how rude you were. I love giving gifts. It makes me happy to see someone open up a well thought out gift and see their happiness. To not open them makes you look like the shower was only for presents and not a baby celebration. You might as well meet them at the door take the gift and say see ya later. |

| I would open them at the shower. Just be fast so people don't get bored, but gracious... say, "this is from NAME... oh, this is just BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much..." etc. Then move on to the next gift. I think you can make everyone feel really appreciated, but you can still get through it quite quickly. |

| If you're wanting to avoid having to open gifts you could try a floating shower. That is a shower were people come in, drop their gift off, grab some refreshments and then leave. Usually there are still people that expect you to open gifts and will stick around until you do. They're excited for you and your baby and want to see what you recieved as gifts so I would think it would be rude not to open. And why would guests be offended if you sent thank you cards or did you mean not send thank you cards? |

| They should be opened at the shower and passed around so everyone can see them. |
