August 8, 2008, Newsletter Issue #145: Registering For A Baby Shower

Tip of the Week

The baby shower is a great way to prepare for the latest addition to your family. Your friends and family help you out with gifts like baby clothes, toys, strollers, etc. But do not just look at this as a time for you to sit back and wait for everyone else to think of what you are going to need. Take some initiative.

Register for your baby shower. Make a list of all the things that you know you will need and put those items on your registry. This way you do not have to worry about duplicate gifts or things that are thoughtful but not that practical for your purposes.

Include the registry information in the baby shower invitations so guests know where you are registered and what you need.

A great way to get the things you need most and save your friends and family a dollar or two at the same time is to do a little hunting online yourself. Find out what baby coupons and discounts are available for your desired baby gear and where they can be purchased. Then add these stores and items to your registry.

Baby showers are meant to be fun gatherings with people close to you. They are for celebrating. But the more the shower helps you in preparation for your child’s arrival, the more relaxed you will be.
