How to Create an Online Baby Registry
Creating an online baby registry is easy, and the great thing about creating it is that it will always be on the front page of the website.
Creating an Online Baby Registry
- Visit the store’s website and look for the word “registry” and click. It is usually on the top of the page.
- After you click on “registry,” you will be asked to choose what type of registry you want. For this registry, it will be “baby registry.”
- Follow on-screen instructions. You will be asked to create a profile with your name and other information about you. Every website is different and may ask additional questions regarding your due date and other pregnancy information.
