Personally, I found this answer to be outdated. Why is there this insistance on opening the gifts? As a guest I find the gift opening part to be excessive and boring. As a past recepient of these showers, I found the gift opening to be tedious and long. Do we open gifts at weddings? No, often the giver never even sees the gift as it's shipped directly to the bride and groom. I would prefer to see less focus on the gifts and the silly games, and more focus on honoring the mother-to-be and the life transition she is going through. Honor the new life coming, and honor the way her life will change. She will become a mother. That's huge! Games, dialogue and themes that focus on that, and encourage the women to share their motherhood and baby stories, are much more meaningful and lovely. While it's nice to see your gift opened, focusing on gifts for an hour or more isn't meaningful or special. It's rather sad really.
