I haven’t gotten any mailed baby shower gifts but if I do I plan on opening them right away as well. DH may not let me though….. He’s trying to build my patience level up before LO arrives haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-received-in-the-mail-before-shower-open-or-wait#post-227042 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 17:29:05 +0000 Rubies 227042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I open them right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-received-in-the-mail-before-shower-open-or-wait#post-227035 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 17:23:25 +0000 MamaMoose 227035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our wedding I always opened presents as soon as they arrived. I wanted to confirm they werent damaged and to send out a thank you note ASAP. When I send a gift I like to get a thank you note quickly so I know the gift arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-received-in-the-mail-before-shower-open-or-wait#post-227030 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 17:19:28 +0000 MrsCastro 227030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would open it...clearly the box does not have a "do not open until..." LOL.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-received-in-the-mail-before-shower-open-or-wait#post-227028 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 17:17:00 +0000 MusicaV 227028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we got our fourth mailed gift today. This time, it's obvious that it's a baby gift - big BuyBuyBaby label on it. (The first three things I opened because I didn't know, or I had permission to open them.) My shower isn't for another 4 weeks. I'm assuming it's from someone who won't be able to come to the shower. Would you open it now or wait? </p>
