when you get money envelopes as a gift at a wedding shower, do you open them in front of everyone?

Question

while your opening the other gifts?

Answer 1

I would open everything at home so that way everybody is not gawking at you and people don't get upset that other guests got "better" gifts than them.

Also it's easier if you open them at home so you can take down the names and addresses for thank you cards

Congrats!

Answer 2

If it's a wedding SHOWER (vs. a wedding) you open the card gifts right along with the other gifts. To not do so is to not acknowledge the gift giver. What you do NOT do is say "Oh..thank you for the hundred dollars!" You say "Thank you so much..that was VERY generous of you!" In other words..make no mention of the actual amount of the gift. Remember, some people may have put a gift card or gift certificate into the envelope, not necessarily cash, so they really must be opened with everything else. And of course, a thank you note foe everyone who attended your shower, whether with actual gift, cash, or nothing!

Money Gift Envelopes

Answer 4

You do, but sneakily, so no one else sees the amount, but so you can thank the giver. Make sure you have a bridesmaid or sister or someone right beside you to write out the names of who gave what. But put the cards with the money away, not with the other gifts. Or remove the money, as long as you have the amt. recorded somewhere, and display the cards with the rest.
Don't worry - very few people would give money - gifts are too much fun to choose - and then, to open!

Answer 5

NO, I wouldn't because that may embarrass some people. I mean people give what they can give and some people may be having a rough patch and can't afford to give you as much as other people. So I would open them later at home and never list in your thank you cards how much the person gave you. Don't say:

Dear Aunt Helen,

Thank you for the $20 dollars.......

Hope I helped a little.

Answer 6

I've seen it done, but I feel it's not right. It's no one else's business how much money you got. What if the giver really couldn't afford more than $5-10? That would be embarrassing for them. You could say "And this gift is from ______." Then open them up when you get home.

Answer 7

We didn't open anything at or wedding. We felt it just seemed too...I don't know...birthday party-ish? We were up dancing & having fun the whole time with all the guest, it seemed odd to us to just stop everything to open gifts. We loaded everything in the car before it was time to leave & opened them later. I've never been to a wedding where even the gifts were open.

Answer 8

I wouldn't. People would know exactly how much other people spent on you and it could lead to potential embarrassment and hard feelings. With a gift, you don't really know how much they spent since they could have gotten it on sale or clearance (ex: I once gave someone a give that originally cost $180, but was on clearance for $12 because the store was clearing out their stock room for Christmas).

Answer 10

Teach is right !! EVERY gift should be acknowledged. To ignore a guest who has brought any type of gift would be very, very rude. You might want to open all card gifts first or last, and then thank each persn graciously for their generosity.
