opening presents at party?

DD's 2nd birthday party is Saturday. It's mostly a "kiddie" party. Should she open her friends' gifts at the party? I don't know if we'll have time. Our party's at home but it's only 2 hrs and between games/playing/pizza/cake I don't know if we can do it! Is that rude?

I have been to a ton of parties in the seven years since DS1 was born, and nobody has ever opened presents.Chat Icon

Growing up we always opened our presents infront of everyone but that doesnt seem to be the norm today.

Usually I open the presents after the party dies down alittle with immediately family.

I've been to parties where they do it and parties where they don't.

When I give a gift, I usually spend a lot of time thinking about what to get them and I like to see the face of the person opening it so I am disappointed when they don't open the gifts. However, I know sometimes it is not possible because the party is big, etc.

I wouldn't. I think that requires too much sitting for the little ones at the party, and I like to really see what everyone gives.
