According to Emily Post (god I never thought I'd write THAT!), it's perfectly acceptable to provide a verbal Thank You when the gifts are opened and a written note is not necessary. THANK YOU EMILY!!! I make sure my kids thank everyone as soon as the gift is open and DONE! WooHoo!

However, I unfortunately find myself being the mean mom and telling my kids that they have to write thank-you notes and open their gifts after the party.

I never really realized how much I fall into peer pressure. My daughter is having a party this weekend. And she is going to open her presents in front of her friends and go thank everyone to their face! YAY!

Even the kids get it! Jody S

Not my boys. Presents need to be opened at the party that's part of the fun. Home parties are the best. Sorry I am too old to
vote. You said it well. Where ever the party is I'll be there. Grammy
