Many parents will create a baby registry before their baby shower. This helps guests buy exactly what you need to help you prepare for baby. Many stores offer online registries so friends and family can see your registry online and order directly from them.

How to create a baby registry
Many stores, such as BabiesRUs.com, have online sites that allow you to create a baby registry from the comfort of your home. If you prefer to see the items you are registering for, the salespeople will often give you a scanner to scan the items you would like to register for.

Where to register
Many of these sites both have online registries and in-store registries so you can easily access and see what has been purchased.

Here are some options for baby registries:

Babies R Us
Target
Wal-Mart
Buy Buy Baby
Pottery Barn
Land of Nod
