A registry has one job: turn the generosity of people who love you into the boring, essential things. Here's how to build one that works.
Everything worth putting on a baby registry, sorted into what you need and what you don't, with one honest pick for each.
The two dozen things a baby actually needs in the first three months, and nothing else. A registry for small apartments, second babies, and people who hate clutter.
When to start, where to put it, the four rules that make a registry people actually buy from, and the mistakes almost everyone makes.
The three registries most people choose between, compared on the things that matter after the shower: returns, completion discounts, group gifting, and how easy it is for the people buying.
The timeline from first draft to shower to thank-you notes, and the etiquette of sharing a registry without making anyone feel like an ATM.
The honest line between what every baby needs in the first months, what's lovely if someone buys it, and what you should wait to see if your baby even likes.
