Is a baby registry worth it?

Many parents-to-be confirm that baby registries are worth it! These services make it a seamless experience to add the gifts you need for your child, plus the ones you’d like to spend in one place. And instead of repeating 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 when your baby shower is the invitation to go out – all you have to do is click your link on the invitation, and that’s it! Those who can’t wait to spoil your bundle of joy can buy gifts you’ll use and love for years.

In addition to its ease of use, a registry offers tons of savings and benefits (more on that to come).

Common benefits for the baby registry

Baby registries have come a long way since I was newly pregnant. Now, most give a welcome gift or package filled with coupons for things like diapers, formula, and wipes. Many also give a 15 percent discount when your registry is complete! This means you can save even more by getting all the things you need to welcome a newborn. Other benefits are that select retailers price match and actually honor competitor offers, allowing your gift givers to take advantage of in-store and online offers.
