Not opening gifts at the baby shower

We’re beginning to plan the baby shower, and admittedly, I haaate baby showers. I don’t enjoy the games, baby bingo is a snore for me personally, and I don’t enjoy watching someone open gifts. I love celebrating my friends and family at their showers so I never complain about what others want to do at their shower, but it’s just not for me!

For my own baby shower, I’d rather do a party to celebrate our baby. Food, music, a few games but nothing crazy. I don’t plan on opening gifts there. My mom says if I expect gifts I have to open them at the shower. I’ve been to a few showers where they didn’t open gifts and no one seemed bothered. I understand where my mom is coming from, and I don’t want to be a brat and make it all about myself, but I just really would rather have a fun day to celebrate.

Has anyone here done a shower where you didn’t open gifts there? If yes, did you receive pushback and how did you handle that? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
