What to Put on a Baby Shower Website (Checklist + Examples)

A baby shower website is one link that does the job of the paper invitation, the RSVP texts and the registry link. Guests open it on their phone, see every detail and reply in a form. You see every answer in one place, and nobody has to ask "what was the address again?"

If you are setting one up for the first time, this is what belongs on it, in the order guests read it.

1. The invitation details

Start with what a paper invitation would say: who the shower is for, the date and time, the address and who is hosting. Add a dress code or a theme note if you have one ("we're keeping it pink and floral"). Keep this page short. Guests read it on a phone, often while standing in a queue.

On our baby shower website invitations, this page opens like an envelope: guests tap the seal, and the invitation slides out. It is a small moment, but it is the one guests screenshot and send to each other.

2. Online RSVP

This is the page that saves you the most time. A simple form with name, yes or no, number of guests and a line for allergies or notes. Every reply lands in your inbox or a spreadsheet, so you never chase anyone by text. Set the RSVP deadline two weeks before the shower, and write it on the page.

3. The gift registry

Put the registry on its own page with one big button. Guests should not have to search the text for a link. If the parents are registered in two places, list both and say what each is for ("big items at Target, books and clothes at Amazon"). If they prefer cash funds or no gifts, say so plainly and kindly here.

4. Diaper raffle

A diaper raffle is the easiest way to stock the nursery: every guest who brings a pack of diapers gets a raffle ticket, and one guest wins a small prize. Explain it in two sentences on the website so nobody arrives confused. Our templates include a diaper raffle page with the wording already written.

5. Books for baby

Instead of a card, guests bring a children's book and write a message inside. It gives the baby a library from day one, and it is cheaper for guests than a card and a gift bag. A short page with the request and a line of thanks is enough.

6. Countdown and photos

A countdown to the big day keeps guests excited, and a photo or two of the parents-to-be makes the page feel personal rather than like a form. If you have the ultrasound photo and permission to share it, this is where it goes.

7. Games and extras

Not everything needs to be on the website, but a "what to expect" line helps: "We'll play a few games, brunch is served at noon, and there will be a cake." If you are running a guess-the-due-date or baby predictions game, link it here so guests can fill it in before they arrive.

How to send the link

Once the website is ready, you share one link. Send it by text, email or in a group chat, and post it in the family Facebook group if that is where the aunts live. Guests do not need an account or an app; the website opens in their browser like any other page.

Send it four to six weeks before the shower, and send a short reminder one week before the RSVP deadline to anyone who has not replied. Because the RSVP form is on the website, the reminder is just the same link again.

Baby shower website templates you can edit

Our baby shower website invitations are Canva templates: you change the names, dates, colors and photos, then share the link. Every page in this checklist is already built in. Pick a theme to match the shower:
