How to set it up

  1. Set the date and placePick the day, check the times, and put the address in “Where” with a map link.
  2. Decide on guestsEach answer can bring one guest. Uncheck “People can bring others” if it's only the people you invite.
  3. Send the linkText it or email it. Nobody needs an account to answer.
  4. Collect the adviceThe answers to “Any advice for the parents-to-be?” are in the spreadsheet on your private link. Print them for a keepsake.

What helps

  • If there's a registry, put its address in the description as plain text, so guests can copy it.
  • Set “Stop taking responses after” for the day you need numbers for food.
  • The advice question isn't shown on the page, so guests can be as sweet or as funny as they like.
  • For a surprise shower, send the link to everyone but the parents-to-be, and turn on “Hide who's coming”.

Something to send with the link

Copy it into a text, an email or the group chat, change what you like, and paste your link at the end.
