Presents: To open, or not to open (Clicky inside)

I should be studying for my finals right now... but I'd rather be bumping (is that a bumper sticker somewhere?)

DS's party isn't until Jan, but I was wondering about the present opening.  He's already received a few Christmas gifts and had no idea what they were and I had to unwrap both... so that being said, I can't imagine it would be fun for guests to see ME unwrap their gift to DS.

I was thinking instead of unwrapping them at the party, to take a pic of DS with each gift and send with the TY cards. WDYT?

    I completely get what you mean.  DS has zero interest in unwrapping presents.  I couldn't even get him to pull the tissue paper out of a gift bag with an early Christmas present.  That said...

    My family will totally want to see him attempt to open the gift and/or me open them.  They like to see the reaction on our faces.  We tried not opening gifts at his baptism (they were mostly cards anyway), not to mention DS was only 6 weeks old.  Yet, we still had special requests to open the gifts in front of the gift-giver.  So I've learned my lesson.

    Lo will love unwrapping gift just b/c he is so into paper and tearing paper up (also trying to eat it). I think he'll find the paper and boxes more interesting the actual gifts, so it'll be fun.

    I voted SS - I think we are going to request no gifts.  We live a few hours from our families (opposite directions, lol), so we are having a small party with friends and a few coworkers we are close to.  They are our local support system and everyone is already so generous with DS.  

    If we were having a party with my family, they would want us to open the gifts though.

    I would love to do this but I know no one will listen to me anyway...
