They opened all their gifts after everyone was gone and I used the handy dandy guest list in my Ultimate Birthday Party Planner to jot down everything they’d gotten and who they’d gotten it from. What I did when mine were young was to pour a cup of my favorite tea, gather the kids and sit down after the party was over for a little record keeping. Either sit down before the party and teach your children how to graciously open a gift that they don’t want or skip opening gifts during the party and do the training a day or two later. I understood early on that my kids wanted to play at their birthday parties, not sit and open gifts. I’ve seen young kids open present after present, throwing them over their shoulders without a second look and never thanking anyone. Kids, when they’re this young don’t care about their friends opening their gifts and it’s hard for the guests to stay still that long. There is no gift opening time in this schedule and that’s on purpose.
