Not everyone wants a traditional baby shower, but every expecting mom needs support! We cover here the key things to consider, and how you can share more than just an invite, with less hassle than a full blown wedding style event.
As the host or mom, you want to let others know about the baby registry without a shower. It’s perfectly fine to do this and you can make it happen in a thoughtful and considerate way.
Here at WebBabyShower, we’ll show you how to share a baby registry without the fuss. You can include more people than a traditional shower, celebrate online as you like with family and friends, but without a huge event to plan. Here’s a few different options on to do this and let you scale up or down as fits your needs.
What Can You Do With WebBabyShower?
Maybe you aren’t a fan of big groups, or you are someone who prefers a quieter celebration. If you’ve decided that a baby shower isn’t the way to go for you, here’s what you can do instead.
Remember that wedding website that kept everything organized, and saved answering the same question a thousand times? Well a registry can use the same approach, this is where the website comes in. No need to explain shipping info, dietary needs, nursery themes, and who’s in for group gift over an over again.
The Event Website Solution
Use WebBabyShower as your info hub, and then you can send a baby registry announcement with no shower for free using our invite platform, just a link to the website where your guests can congratulate you, but without a party. Just because we offer games, or video chat included, doesn’t mean they need to be part of the personalized plan. Want to see what it looks like?

1. No party, but who doesn’t want pictures!
Let’s be honest, people give when they feel included and connected. Use your WebBabyShower website to display photos and videos in the gallery and keep those closest to you updated throughout your pregnancy. And your website is just for you and those you choose to share it with, unlike social media, which is much more public.
2. Get a groove with chat just for her support team
Consider that friends and family can download the free mobile WebBabyShower app for their phones, so they never miss an update. You can add this feature into your plan for a more personal experience for everyone, or just skip it. Completely up to you.
Pro Tip: for groups that don’t know each other, like college friends vs great aunts, the profiles and chat facilitate conversations that might not otherwise happen.
3. Guest book option for a more traditional approach
You can always keep it simple with an old school guest book. We once experimented removing this feature after we launched the mobile app, but people love it! Lessoned learned the guest book is here to stay.

A Non-Tacky Way to Share Your Registry With WebBabyShower
When you create a WebBabyShower website, you can share your baby registry, even without a shower, and eliminate the risk of coming across as tacky. This is because your WebBabyShower website has a dedicated place to add your registry, so it doesn’t look out of place. You can also place a link on your announcements, asking friends to check out the registry.
The registry is also available when relatives and friends check out the mobile app. Since this is probably the easiest way for most people to view your site, they may choose the mobile version. And your registry will be super simple to access from there.
And as we mentioned, when you send out your digital announcements, you can add a subtle link to your registry. It’s fun, classy, and helps people know where to look if they want to buy you a present.
It’s easy to send out baby announcements using WebBabyShower’s built-in invite system. You can match your website theme and link to your site from the emailed announcement.
Having the link at the bottom of the announcement gives your friends and family a way to see what you need for the baby but without them feeling like the registry is tacky or too obvious.
You Can Easily Share Your Registry Without Throwing a Baby Shower
No need to worry that you’ll come across as tacky when following these suggestions. Everyone needs a baby registry, but not everyone wants a party. And that’s okay! You can still send out an announcement, share your registry, and allow guests to see updates on your website and mobile app.
Enjoy this time with the people you love and celebrate in the way that is best for you!
