Baby shower advice

I haven't been to a baby shower in a long time but the few I went to in my country in Latin America, I remember that people brought whatever gift they wanted (usually small things like clothes, diapers...) but now I see that here in the US it is common to make a registry and add everything including expensive things like a bassinet or car seat, is it okay if for my baby shower I ask exactly what I need even if they are expensive things? I don’t know if I’m doing it right 😥

Absolutely, I wrote on my invite "suggested gifts can be found here" and used a QR code to the registry. It makes it so much easier for people to know what you want to use and need.

Absolutely! Some people might buy then or might not. I put whatever i wanted/needed whether it was expensive or not. My mother-in-law bought us our stroller which was the most expensive item on our registry and I was super grateful for that because I was stressing about spending that amount of money.

Put everything you want. And the more expensive things might be bought by the grandparents, or people you’re close to, or a few people might decide to split the cost.

Yesss!!!! You can put absolutely everything from the most expensive thing you need to the cheapest!! There’s also and option where people can contribute to more expensive gifts like someone gives $100 to contribute to a $300 stroller. Do not be embarrassed about it, usually the closest family members will buy the most expensive gifts. Babies are expensive!! And everyone knows that lol so your loved ones will want to help, I promise you. And even if people dont buy everything off your registry, some websites like amazon, will give YOU a discount to buy the things that were left off, so YES add absolutely everything you need mama. I recommend doing extensive research on the most forgotten items to include and compare brands to find which items work best for you personally. I watched tiktoks lol “what to include on my registry” good luck and congratulations ❤️🫶🏼

Yes, and give the option of gift cards or diaper fund so you apply money to what you need if ppl don’t buy or can’t afford certain items.
