Know a friend who's far away and expecting a baby?
Got a family member on bed rest who needs some cheering
up?
Want to easily share news about your pregnancy and photos
with family and friends? Have your baby shower or pregnancy
celebration online at Web Baby Shower! Families of all
shapes and sizes are welcome here -- that's why I'm
doing my best to offer an easy and fun way to have a
baby shower online. I look forward to helping you welcome
the new baby with an online baby shower and birth announcement
website.
What is an online baby shower?
At the most basic level, an online baby shower should
include a message board and photos. It can be as elaborate
or simple as you want.
It can include games and good wishes, stories and pregnancy
updates.
We are still working on online refreshments though!
While you can host an online baby shower at any website
that provides message board service, Web Baby Shower
is already designed to meet the specific needs of baby
showers, pregnancy celebrations and birth announcements.
In addition, Web Baby Shower is personally moderated
by me so everyone can participate in a fun and safe
online environment without having to have accounts,
passwords, and so forth.
Why have a baby shower online?
In today's world, expecting parents aren't always next
door to family and friends. With the advent of the Internet,
however, we can all be a little closer. Here are some
reasons to choose an online baby shower to either complement
or replace a traditional baby shower:
- Excellent when expecting parents are far from
family and friends
This is the number one reason families come to
Web Baby Shower. Whether the expecting parents are
out of the country on a military assignment or have
relocated away from family for career reasons, having
an online baby shower is sometimes the only way
to get everyone together to say "congratulations."
- Super mood lifter for moms-to-be who have been
restricted to bed-rest
Know an expecting mom on bed rest? She will love
an online baby shower! Knowing you cared enough
to gather everyone together for her will help brighten
her spirits. It can also give her a place to share
any pregnancy news and to help feel like she can
still connect with the world while she is taking
care of herself in preparation for the arrival of
her baby.
- Great complement to a traditional baby shower
An online shower can be the part of the shower
that lasts before and after the shower. You can
also share photos and anecdotes with everyone who
couldn't make it to the baby shower.
- Online shopping is becoming more and more popular
Having an online shower can help friends and relatives
find and shop from baby registries online. Web Baby
Shower, in particular, is a great resource for online
registries since you can link to all sites where
the mom and baby are registered.
- Everyone likes babies and computers too!
Because it involves computers, men are actually
very receptive to participating in an online shower.
An online baby shower is a great way to include
everyone who wants to welcome the new baby.
- A print-out of the message board makes a wonderful
addition to a baby book
It's like having a "guest book" for your new baby!
Tons of messages so she will know how excited everyone
was about her arrival! Web Baby Shower makes it
easy with its Keepsake Services.
- When the baby is born you can transform the shower
into an online birth announcement
Once you have your Web Baby Shower running, it's
really easy to "instantly" announce your baby's
birth -- everyone on your guest list automatically
gets an email birth announcement and you can add
photos of the new arrival as soon as they're ready.
Online Baby Shower Testimonials
Here are some of the great things people had to say
when they had their baby shower online:
Within a matter of minutes, [our Web Baby Shower]
was up and running, totally easy, and hassle free. I
am the party planner of the family, and I just wish
all the showers I throw would be this easy! What a great
idea! Thank you!
~ Christel, online shower host.
Everyone ... thinks this Web Baby Shower site is
the neatest thing they've ever heard of. We're getting
super positive feedback. So, way to go, Bonnie! My daughter
was so lonely going through her pregnancy alone in Washington
and [now] she's having a ball, so thanks so much.
~ Nancy, host and expecting grandmother
Thank you for hosting this shower on your website.
[My wife] and I are in the Navy -- far away from Wedding
Favors - Home -- so gestures like this made possible
by folks like you help families like mine. Have a great
day.
~John, expecting dad/co-host
When I heard that [my friend] was having twins,
and was probably not going to have someone give her
a shower, I started looking into a way to host one for
her online, so that she would still receive gifts. This
online shower was a wonderful way for our group to have
a shower for our friend who lives across the country.
Thanks so much!
~Carrie M., online baby shower host
Thank you so much for the scrapbook! We love it!
Your Web Baby Shower was a wonderful experience. We'll
be keeping in touch and look forward to using you with
our next one! God Bless You!
~Kerry P, new mom
I really appreciate this service, your doing a wonderful
job with it. Thank you,
~Shellie, online baby shower host
The online birth announcement helped keep our email
accounts from getting overwhelmed and we can save the
responses for the baby book.
~Lori, new mom
