- 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.
Questions people ask
