We have gathered some party tips to help you be the best hostess you can be! Our most important advice is: Have Fun!

• Enter the guest’s names as how they are related to the mom-to-be or the baby (ex: Grandma Jenny, Aunt Amy, Uncle Joey, and nicknames, etc.). How you enter their name during registration is how it will appear in the party. Everyone will see the guest’s names.
  
  
• Occasionally post new messages to the party. Possibly updates in the pregnancy (how mom is feeling, baby’s name, doctor’s trips, etc.)
  
  
• Post pictures of the mom-to-be as the party continues. If she receives gifts during that time, have her take a picture and post. Pictures of a sonogram, mom’s belly, the nursery, are all fun for the guests to view. Be creative – what do you think your guests would like to see?
  
  
• Send out reminder notices to the guests who haven't attended to encourage their participation. To do this, access your admin section and re-write your invitation text to reflect the new message.
  
  
• We understand that some of your guests may not check their e-mail everyday and some may not have an e-mail account. So, our solution is to offer you a printable version of your invitation. You can print the invitation and mail it to your guests.

• Keep guests informed on the pregnancy by using the party page as a "Labor Announcement". If mom agrees, then announce to guests that labor has begun. Send out another round of invitations to invite guests to read the updates on labor and birth.

• After the birth of the baby, post the baby's picture and write birth details on the party page. If the mom would like a link to the hospital's website or any other site, put that link on the party page as well. Then, send an invitation to your guests to visit her party page again. This is a great way to close out the party and gives the guests a glimpse of her baby!
