What are some good baby registry welcome messages?
Creating your baby registry is such an exciting (and important) step when you’re expecting a new addition to your family.
Your registry serves as a practical tool for organizing and acquiring the necessary baby essentials, but it’s also an opportunity to convey your gratitude and share your excitement about this momentous occasion.
You may not be able to do this on the baby shower invitation when including your registry information, so it’s important that you include a heartfelt welcome message on your online baby registry. Here, you can add a personal touch to your guests’ experience of preparing for your little one’s arrival.
But what exactly do you write?
Don’t worry, I’ve got a list of everything you need to include and some great baby registry message ideas to get your creative juices flowing, with some very specific information.
Check it out and include your favorite one at the top of your online registry to welcome your guests to this new chapter of your life.

What is a baby registry message?
A baby registry message is a heartfelt message to your guests displayed at the beginning of your online baby registry filled with more personal details.
Here you can thank them for visiting your registry and sharing your special day while giving them important information and asking for specific types of gifts.
You do not need to explain your choices of baby gear, but it is helpful to include any special requests you have. Whether you plan to breastfeed, use cloth diapers, or choose a minimalist nursery or gender-neutral options.
Note that most retailers do have a character limit for their welcome message, so the perfect baby registry greeting is short and to the point while expressing gratitude.
What should I include in a baby registry message?
Thank You
The number one thing you should include on your baby registry greeting is a note of thanks to your guests for visiting your registry. It is also nice to express gratitude for them attending your upcoming baby shower.
Gender of the Baby
If you know the gender and are sharing that with others, go ahead and include it in your baby registry greeting message.
If you plan on keeping it a secret until the baby is born, list your preferences on colors for clothes. Or if you’re planning a gender reveal at the baby shower, list that as well.
Baby’s Name
The name of your baby is something that is completely up to you whether or not you are sharing it with close friends and family members.
You could use their actual name by including something like “our baby boy, John” or “our little girl, Amelia.” Or continue to keep it a secret by using only your last name, “Baby Smith.”
Nursery Colors/ Nursery Theme
You can also add what your nursery colors and theme will be.
Usually, most people can tell just by the items on your baby registry list, but if you already have the bedding or most of the decor purchased, they might not be able to tell what you’re looking for, so it’s best to include your particular theme here.
The baby registry message is also the best way to convey if you have a small nursery space and aren’t looking for large pieces of furniture or are taking a minimalist approach to baby items.
Due Date
I think it’s nice to include your due date (or even month or season) in your greeting.
This way if people purchase clothes, they have an idea when that item will fit your little one. Whether it’s shorts, coats, or even holiday-themed, they’ll have a better chance of giving you something you can use when that season or holiday rolls around.
It’s also perfect if your baby shower theme is related to a season: a spring brunch or a winter wonderland.
Colors
Along with including the gender of the baby, the registry greeting is a great place to add if you will be following traditional gender colors for clothing or if you are opting for neutral colors.
Preferences
This section is not necessary, but if you have certain preferences, it’s a good idea to include them right at the top of your registry.
Preferences could be a wide range of things, but here are a few examples:
- Small nursery
- Minimalistic design
- Eco-friendly
- Wanting to breastfeed
- Wanting to cloth diaper
- Library of children’s books
- Already have plenty of clothing (or another particular item)
While you want to express the specific things you are looking for, you don’t want to add the actual items that you would most like to have.
Telling your guests you are planning to breastfeed and would love supplies to make that easier is much more polite than saying I want this specific breast pump. (They can find it below in your registry.)
It’s also not a good idea to include all the preferences above. It will be too much information and your guests will be overwhelmed. Stick to the most important things for you and your new baby.
Guest of Honor
The perfect baby registry greeting ends with a note of love from the new parents or new mama.
Adding the name(s) of the guest of honor just adds one more personalized touch to your baby registry information letting your guests know you care.
