Baby Shower Gift Registry
Just as with weddings, couples today can now register in person or
online at most of their favorite stores. This provides the couple an
opportunity to determine the gifts they will receive, specific colors,
sizes, and so on. Additionally, with so many companies offering online
baby shower registers, both high end and affordable stores can be
chosen so every guest can choose their price range.
Interestingly, some people still consider baby gift registers as cold
and impersonal. You want the guests to know that the gift is their
choice since it is something that comes from the heart. To ensure no
one is offended, wording is very important so the recommendation of
using the gift registry is not seen as offensive.
Remember, you do not want to include the information about the gift
registry in the invitation. Now, some people will add this information
on a separate piece of paper slipped inside the invitation but
etiquette experts state this is an incorrect way of handling it.
Instead, when the guests reply with the RSVP, you can then send them a
note in the mail or via email, providing the gift registry information.
This message could say something like, “Thank you for your confirmation
for attending John and Sue’s baby shower. We look forward to you
joining us for the celebration of life and enjoying this time of
fellowship among family and friends. Although baby gifts are welcomed,
they are not mandatory. If you are unsure what the couple needs, they
have registered at a few stores to include…”
With this, you are advising people that gifts are not necessary and
that if they do not have an idea of what to buy, they can check out the
registration if they like. By giving people options, they do not feel
obligated to buy something specifically chosen by the couple. After
all, some people may prefer to make homemade gifts and they should have
the option of doing this if they wish.
The great thing about baby shower registers is that the couple
eliminates the potential of receiving two of the same thing. Therefore,
rather than direct people what to buy, it becomes a practical approach
to gift giving. Baby gift registration is also a time saving tool.
Since most couples are tired and the mother-to-be may not be feeling
full of energy, the option of choosing items online is a huge benefit.
