People do not want to leave a baby shower until you’ve opened their presents, so make sure you are doing this no later than an hour to an hour and a half after the party starts. That way, if someone needs to leave a little early, they can. Keep in mind that it takes a while to open presents (at least 30 minutes) and that is why you should start this as soon as the eating and games are done.

For example, if it the baby name begins or ends with the same letter as the first letter of your last name, it may sound awkward.
