Baby Showers - Gift Registry or No Gift Registry?



Well, the debate as old as time seems to continue - if you're having a baby shower, do you organise a gift registry or not? Many people are really not sure what to do here, some people feel that guests will appreciate having it organised for them, and others feel that it's "a bit forward" in putting one together.

We've found that many people these days are organising registries for their baby showers as it's just so convenient for guests. We've seen this trend increasing over the last year at 9 Months Waiting. However, what do you think the etiquette is here? Many people will now organise a gift registry for their wedding, but do you think the same applies to baby shower registries?

We've actually noticed that people that use the registry are going for the bedding items mostly. I suppose you can never have enough bedding when you have a newborn with reflux!

We're going to open this up to you - what do you think, and what would you put on your registry if you were to have/ already had one? If you were invited to a baby shower and received registry information on the invite, what would your response be?

We welcome all responses - you can either post one here, or participate in the poll on the right hand side, or do both!
