The All In One Registry

Whether you are getting married or having a new bundle of joy, the one common element is that there will probably be a registry to make.  I don't know about you, but that's one of the fun parts of having such a special event.  Going to the stores and using that little gun to scan all the things you'd like to see.  If you are like most couples you will probably go to a couple (sometimes three) different stores just to make sure you have every inch of your home or nursery covered.

Now here comes the tricky part, when you send out your invitations, how many of those little pieces of paper to do you plan on inserting to let me people know you have a registry.  Well, with one new website I discovered the answer is one. With the option below, you will be able to registery at almost any store of your choice, but they are all combined at one place

MyRegistry.com

MyRegistry.com is a website where you can combine all of your registries into one convenient place. This website uses what they call the sync and display feature. They right now do not all stores listed, but Target is one that is on their list. For your out of town guests, this works ideally for them in the event they cannot come to your special day, but would like to send you a gift. Not only does the registry partner with different stores, they also have their one stores where you can pick gifts as well such as their Baby Store. One thing I have learned os there are different stores in different cities. So, if you've always wanted something from IKEA, you could possibly get it.

Take a look at the below video for more and then check out the site to start your own registry.

Is It A Boy Or A Girl?

One planning trend that I've seen more and more is the famous gender reveal party. I think this is the cutest and creative baby idea for real! Now let's understand, this is a separate thing from your average baby shower. Don't worry, there's no need to bring a gift  for this occasion. This party is designed to simply let your family and friends no if a little prince or princess (or both) are on the way. A twist I've seen to this as well is where the family has the reveal for the couple. The parents to be find out what it is when they reveal it to themselves and the reactions I've seen have been priceless.

If you're thinking of adding this trend as part of your journey to parenthood, check out some of these ideas:
