Open anything gift wrapped at the shower. Anything not I'd just ask the person if they want you to have it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-etiquette-help#post-2843131 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 19:08:38 +0000 PurplePumps 2843131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does it make a difference if the shower is at my house? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-etiquette-help#post-2843128 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 18:34:28 +0000 meadow 2843128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree...open them, add to your TY list and dont bring them to your shower. If there happens to be no note inside look online after this weekend. Amazon has a list I believe where it records gifts from your registry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-etiquette-help#post-2843125 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 18:14:45 +0000 MamaBear87 2843125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's anything big I'd just open it prior and make sure to thank them if they come. I had some family do that so we didn't have to cram big things in our car to take them home </p> <p>And I agree open them. They will likely be wrapped inside anyway </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-etiquette-help#post-2843122 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 18:08:10 +0000 crazydoglady 2843122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: I would open the boxes. They may even be gift wrapped and have a note. I would not send a gift directly to the recipient unless I was unable to attend the function. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-etiquette-help#post-2843121 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 18:03:09 +0000 PurplePumps 2843121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is the etiquette for gifts being sent directly to my house from Amazon? I'm not sure who's sending them, or if they are coming.... am I supposed to save them to open at my shower (this coming Saturday) or can I open them now and get rid of all the big brown amazon boxes? </p>
