My 2 yo's bday party is coming up. We're keeping it small - maybe 6-7 friends. Do we open presents at the party or wait until after the party ends? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

It's up to you. We usually open presents at the end of the party if it is at home or some non-rented space. If it was a rented space we just brought them home and opened then there. [ Reply | More ]

at this age, i don't think that any of them understand the whole concept of gifts very well. either being gracious about opening them, or being patient (in the guests' case) about someone opening toys that aren't theirs to play with. just seems easier, and less overwhelming on the birthday boy's part, to save it for a quieter time.

Depends on the children. We always open the gifts at the end of the party while the guests are still there. It's the most exciting part for all children involved. [ Reply | More ]

Or make it part of the party. Opening gifts at the end is always appreciated by all kids. [ Reply | More ]
