My mother is going to a bridal shower next weekend. On the invite they were instructed to not wrap gifts.

She talked to the brides soon to be MIL to inquire as to why. We were thinking trying to be "green" but no its to "save time" during the shower.

Whatcha ya'll think?

Personally, I find this incrediably tacky. To save time? Really, the point of a shower is to open gifts, no? What is the bride going to do, walk through the room, look at them all and say, yes, lovely. Now moving on... Just weird. Where do you put your card? And then no ribbon bouquet for the rehearsal dinner.. I don't like it, but maybe thats just me.

    My cousin did this for her shower, but in a neat way.  At the door, she had tote bags with the guests names on them, in which they could place their gift.  That way, the bags served as "tags" and they got to keep them after the shower.  I thought it was a cute idea!

    Agree, it's weird. The only "unwrapped gifts" idea I've seen is one where they have everyone bring an unwrapped pair of panties and the bride has to guess who gave it to her. Aside from that, I agree with everyone who said they'd be bummed if that was their shower.  Unwrapping is the fun part of getting gifts!  I'd probably wrap it anyways, for reasons of 1)not liking the idea 2)liking to wrap gifts 3)avoid feeling awkward walking up with random open present and 4)would most likely forget the "do not wrap" instructions
