Answer
That type of gift is way too romantic - you're friends - not a couple - if you want to drop a hint that you're romantically attracted to her, why not give her a gift certificate to a nearby restaurant and a gift card for the movies - if she suggests that you two go together, then you're set! =)

Opening gifts...?




OFFICIALLY


Not too sure what it is called but has anyone been with the bride and groom when they opened their gifts the next day that they received from their wedding? I heard someone say it is some kind of brunch you have and family and friends come over to see them open the gifts.
What is it called?
Has anyone been to this?
What is the proper procedure to inviting people?
Who do you invite?
Anything particular goes on at this "event" or "party"?
Thanks in advance.



Answer
It's a "gift-opening party" usually done the day after the wedding. Usually it is hosted at the bride's parent's house. I have been to one before and the immediate close family and friends from both the bride and groom's side were invited, not the whole guest list from the wedding!! You just eat and talk about the wedding and possibly look at pictures if any have been developed already and just have a good time with the bride and groom.



From the San Diego Tribune, on April 30, 2006:

A gift-opening party isn't a nationwide tradition but is very popular in certain areas of the country. It essentially takes the concept of the day-after brunch one step further.


What happens is that your friends and family all gather together and watch you open your wedding gifts (it's basically like a bridal shower, only in this case many of the gift-givers may not be present).
If you're not crazy about the idea, here's a compromise: After the brunch, once most of your guests have hit the road and only your very close friends and family are still there, take some time and open the gifts for those folks to see.
