Your site never explains what a baby registry is. The example registry doesn’t really help, nor does your About page. There is no Wikipedia article for “baby registry”, and Google searching “what is a baby registry” doesn’t produce anything helpful. I gather that it’s a wishlist of some kind, but that doesn’t explain why one would want to have one, and why it’s called a “registry” instead of a wishlist.
I’m definitely not in the audience for this site, so maybe all parents-to-be learn what a baby registry is from their friends or something, but it would be nice if you explained to random internet surfers what the site is for. Just a sentence would suffice.
Are you American? There may be a cultural gap somewhere.
When women (or couples) are having a baby, they have a baby shower. This is a get together to celebrate and typically the party-goers bring a gift for the parents-to-be and their baby. Sometimes clothes or a stroller or diapers or other baby related items.
It is similar to when someone gets married and they create a wedding registry of household items they would like as gifts.
Yes, there was a cultural gap. Thanks for explaining it to me. I knew there was such a thing as a baby shower, but I didn’t know that it was customary to create a wish-list for them, or for weddings.
