Common Baby Registry Mistakes to Avoid

Learn from others' mistakes. Here's what NOT to do.

Not Enough Price Variety

Include items from $15 to $300+. Some guests want to spend $30; others want to pool for the big stuff.

Too Many Clothes

You'll receive clothes whether you register for them or not. Focus registry on gear and essentials.

Forgetting Yourself

Add postpartum recovery items, nursing supplies, and things for YOU. You matter too.

One Size Only

For diapers and clothes, register for multiple sizes. Baby won't stay newborn-sized for long.

Not Updating

Remove items you've bought yourself or changed your mind about. Add new things as you discover needs.

Registering at Too Many Places

2-3 registries max. More than that is confusing for guests and hard to track.
