Is a Baby Registry Worth It?

Many expectant parents confirm that baby registries are worth the effort! These services make it a seamless experience to add the gifts you need for your baby, plus ones you would like to splurge on in one place. And, instead of re-iterating to friends and family every time they ask, “what do you need to get ready for baby?” you can quickly point them in the direction of your list. It’s also perfect for once your baby shower is invites to go out — all you have to do is pop your link to the invite, and that’s it! Those who can’t wait to spoil your bundle of joy can purchase gifts you will use and love for years.

In addition to how easy it is to use, a registry offers plenty of savings and perks (more on that ahead).

Common Baby Registry Perks

Baby registries have come a long way since I was newly pregnant. Now, most provide a welcome gift or package that’s filled with coupons for items like diapers, formula, and wipes. Many also give a 15 percent discount once your registry is completed! That means you can save even more by snagging all the items you need to welcome a newborn. Other perks are selected retailer’s price match its competitor’s deals and actually honor them, which allow those who are gifting you to take advantage of in-store and online deals.
