I am giving a baby shower for my niece-in-law and she has requested not opening gifts at the shower. She says it makes her feel uncomfortable. She also said that if anyone wants her to open their gift at the shower, they could do it one on one with her while at the shower, not in public.
It will be a medium sized shower with about 14-16 attendees, mostly family and friends of the grandma to be, my sister-in-law. Opening gifts would not take a ton of time. My 84 year old mother-in-law is making a baby quilt for her first great grand child. I think it would be nice for people at the shower to see her gift of love that she will be putting so much time into. I know when I go to a shower I really enjoy looking at all the cute little baby things, it is the highlight of the shower. I am not thrilled with this, but will go along per the expectant mother's wishes.
