Q: Can I host a Mommy Party if the mom-to-be lives out of the country?

A: Yes, you can host a party regardless of where the mom-to-be lives. Only credit cards from a US issuing bank are accepted. If you do not have a US card issuing bank, please contact us to make arrangements for payment. Some online baby stores offer international shipping. See mom’s gift registry page for details on stores that offer shipping outside of the United States.

Q: What if I have some guests who don’t have a computer. How do they attend the party?

A: To invite this person, we recommend that you use the printable version of your invitation and mail it to him/her. Go to their public library for access to the Internet, possibly go to a Cyber Café in their city, or ask friends for use of their computer. For a listing of cafés, please visit: http://www.cybercafe.com

Q: I've tried to invite two people that have the same email address. Why can't I add the second guest?

A: The system let you put the first guest in, but didn't allow the second because it read it as a duplicate guest. Since each guest is tracked by their email address inside of the party, each guest needs to have his/her own email address. This is their user name. We can assist you with obtaining an email address for your guests. Please contact us at support@mommyparty.com for assistance.

Q: Can the party be in “real time” (at one time)?

A: No, we have discontinued our chat rooms. We are currently searching for a chat room service for your guests to use. Try Chatzy for your chat room needs. We are not affiliated with them in any way. Please review their guidelines before signing up for their service.

Q: What do I need in order to register for a Mommy Party?

A: For a listing of items needed before registering, please review the Hostess Checklist.

Q: How do I know if all of my guests received their invitation?

A: You will know that our system sent the invitations when at least one person has attended the party or received their invite. If you think a few guests have not received their invitation, then it is most likely on the User's end. Either their inbox was full or, in most of these cases, they have a spam filter that won't let it in. You may want to contact this guest by phone and give them their party ID and instructions on logging into the party page. Before doing that, you may want to:

Check the spelling on the e-mail address. Sometimes, while entering many e-mail addresses, a few can be misspelled. If the spelling is OK, then check with the guest to make sure that particular e-mail address is still valid. You may need their updated address.

Q: Who can close down a Mommy Party?

A: If a request to end the party prematurely is received by our support team, we are required to contact the person who purchased the Mommy Party. The hostess is able to close the party at any time by using her administrative tools on the party page.

Q: Is it OK to host a baby shower for someone who is having her second child?

A: Of course it is! Every baby is special and every pregnancy is just as challenging as the previous one. Certain baby items probably will not be re-used such as: soiled bibs and clothes, bottles, burp cloths, diapers, diaper wipes, pacifiers, etc.. Since being pregnant and taking care of her other children can be draining, the mom-to-be could use some baby-ing herself!

Q: How do I add more guests to the party?

A: Go to the party page and click on "admin area" at the top of the screen. It is in this area that you will find the controls to add more guests. You can invite an unlimited number of guests.

Q: How do I post the mom-to-be's digital picture?

A: The mom-to-be or the hostess can add pictures. Once on the party page, click on your admin tools at the top of the page. A window will pop up. Select "post pictures". You can post up to ten pictures. The last one added to the list will appear on the party page. Once guests click to enlarge that picture, they can scroll through the other pictures.

Q: Where is my hostess administrative area? What is it?

A: Only the host and mom-to-be will be able to access the administrative controls over their party. Log into the party page. At the top of the page you will see a link reading "admin area". Click there. A window will pop up with many functions. Edit invitation text, print off invites, edit, delete, or add more guests, end the party, and more.

Q: Can the gift registry link directly to my personal registry?

A: The gift registry links that appear on the party page will connect to the selected store's website. To direct your guests to the mom-to-be's personal registry, please provide the information next to the banner on the party page.
