A few helpful answers
Do I need to mention the baby’s sex?
No. “A little one is on the way” or “Celebrating a growing family” works without sharing that detail.
How do I include a registry?
Keep it optional: “If you’d like to bring a gift, [name]’s registry is at [registry link].” Put it in the guest note, with the celebration details first.
Can I write the invitation without a baby’s name?
Yes. Name the person or people being celebrated and leave out any details they haven’t chosen to share.
