Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
Do you or do you not enjoy (BE HONEST) sitting there for hours watching the bride open ALL the gifts.

Re: Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
I find it boring.. I typically find most showers boring (whether it be bridal or baby) which is why I'm so not looking forward to my bridal shower, I don't want people to be bored.

Re: Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
For the most part I don't enjoy that. If the the shower is small it's not too bad but for larger showers where you cannot even see or hear the guest of honor it's really boring. Plus, I feel like you are supposed be paying attention to the gift opening so it feels rude to be chatting with your tablemates.

I am the girl who does the hat at showers. I try to do it at every single shower I go to, because I need to have something to occupy my time other than just watching the guest of honor open gifts. After the first 10 minutes I'm bored.

Re: Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
Boring! I hate these traditions. I hate watching and I didn't really enjoy doing it at my own shower.
Thank G-d I didn't do this at my engagement party. I can't imagine the look on my face when I opened the "Bagel Bowl"

Re: Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
I guess I am weird- it's not a ball of excitement for the guests, but I do enjoy seeing what the bride gets. usually I take a lot of pictures and then compile them for the bride and send them to her or make an album.
I haven't been to all that many at this point and they have all been for close friends, so I am always so excited for them...(and one I was the MOH-so that was fun)

Exactly. I love when there's games or some other distraction going on.

Re: Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
It really depends. I went to a bridal shower recently where the mother to be opened up some gifts, then took a break and then opened them again. I think that it was a nice way to have the shower and gave her the opportunity to socialize with everyone.

Re: Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
For my shower we tried NOT to open gifts, but the guests insisted. It was small shower so I guess that is why.
I do like to see the bride/mom/whatever open MY gift tho!!

I'm the girl that either makes the hat or writes down the gifts - depending on who the shower is for.
I much prefer baby showers to bridal showers. Baby stuff is more fun to look at than towels and pans.

Re: Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
It depends - if I am close with the bride or they are a member of my family, I like going and seeing everyone and eating 
If I don't really know them that well - then it is a little boring to me

Re: Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
Ditto, and I hate that at your own shower you have to pretned to be suprised when you get all the gifts you had on your registry (and if you were like me you checked everyday anyway so you knew exactly what was bought anyway ). And what about the really hideous stuff you have to pretend to like?? I am definately not a fan of being the center of attention!!

Re: Spinoff to the "open faced" gift bridal showers...
I guess I will be the odd ball and say I enjoy bridal and baby showers and watching them open gifts.
I remember at my bridal shower, which wasnt huge by any means - I think there were around 45 people, I tried to unwrap my gifts quickly, held them up, acknowledged the person and than moved on. I know other people dont always enjoy them so I feel bad. I took a little over an hour to open my gifts which I didnt think was too bad.
