Birthday presents before or after birthday?

DD will be 11 this month, and as her main present we have booked a trip to London to see a show. We will be leaving super early on her birthday, so are planning to tell her the night before.
I need to decide on how to do presents for her. I could do some the night before, and then take some with us (travelling by train, so could only be a couple), open all presents the night before, or wait until we get home ( late the day after her birthday). The rest of her presents are mainly things she would have had anyway (clothes, kit for her main hobby, books).
WWYD?

If the main present is the trip I would do it night before so she isn't imagining some super fancy present on return.

You could let her choose which gifts she takes to open on the trip and then she can see how many she still has to open when you get back?
