If you just bought the bulbs, I'd get them into the ground as soon as possible. Spring flowering bulbs won't live through the summer without an opportunity to develop foliage to replenish the bulb and summer blooming bulbs need to get into the ground right away so they have a chance to grow and bloom later this summer. I'd plant them all as soon as possible.
