Copy the link from the store and paste it. Name, image and price are added on their own. On your phone, you can also do this right from “Share”.
Share the link
Send the link to everyone, by message or as a QR code. Whatever someone reserves is off the list for the others. They don’t see who it was.
What fits on a list like this
Just a few ideas. Add them with a store link or simply as text.
- Diaper bag
- Diapers in several sizes
- Bodysuit set, 3–6 months
- Burp cloths, lots of them
- Infant car seat
- Gift card for a postpartum fitness class
A baby shower thrives on lots of people chipping in – and that’s exactly where it often goes wrong: in the end there are four stuffed animals and no diaper bag. Whoever hosts the shower can create the list and send it out with the invitation. Then everyone brings something that’s actually needed, and the surprise still holds.
Common questions: Baby shower
- Who traditionally hosts a baby shower?
- Traditionally a close friend, because a shower hosted by family could look like asking for gifts. Today that rule has relaxed, and mothers, sisters and grandmothers host showers all the time. Coworkers often throw a smaller one at the office.
- When should a baby shower take place?
- Usually four to eight weeks before the due date, when the parents-to-be still have the energy and time to set things up. Some families prefer a “sip and see” after the birth instead, where guests come to meet the baby.
- Do you send a gift if you miss the shower?
- If you’re close to the parents-to-be, yes – often in the range of $25 to $50. For acquaintances, a card with a warm note is enough. Guests who can’t come commonly ship something from the registry straight to the parents.
- Can you buy something that isn’t on the registry?
- Yes. It helps to check first what the parents have in mind and what’s already covered, then choose something in the same spirit. A gift receipt makes an exchange easy if it turns out to be a duplicate.
Who creates the list – the host or the mom-to-be?
Either works. If the host wants to surprise her, she creates the list and quietly checks the wishes with her beforehand.
Can things be given more than once?
Yes. For diapers, wipes and creams, there are wishes that become available again by themselves after someone reserves them.
Can the guests see who is taking what?
No, only whether a wish is still available.
How does the link get to the guests?
Copy it into the invitation or print it as a QR code.
Does the list cost anything?
No, it’s free and ad-free.
