Do I need to open all the gifts including all the cards, at the shower with everyone watching?  I understand doing the gifts but I'm not sure about opening cards/envelopes with everyone.

    The last shower I was at the bride took a break from sitting in front of everyone and opened the cards out of the spotlight, then when she went back up said thank you to all of those who gave cash/gft card gifts.  I think if you're thanking everyone else you should definately thank those people too.

    IMO, yes.  That's the point of guests coming to the shower.  Plus, sometimes that is the only way to know who the gift is from without holding it up and going "who bought me this".

    That being said, you don't have to pour over the cards and read any heartfelt notes written in it right there.  Every shower I've attended, someone has opened the card envelope and handed the bride the gift and opened card, then started on the next one while she was reading the card/opening the gift.
