I was taught when opening gifts at baby showers or wedding showers to not announce who the giver was in public. My mom always said we don’t announce the giver so as not to embarrass someone who wasn’t able to give as much as someone else. Recently I went to a baby shower where the mother did announce who gave the gift as she was opening them. I have a shower coming up and wondering what the actual expected etiquette is on this?
