If you need to make changes to your baby registry settings, such as the default name, email address, or other personal information, you can do so by going to the Baby Registry Settings. You can access these settings by visiting your Baby Registry page and selecting the Settings option.

Step 5: Add Items to Your Baby Registry

Once your baby registry is created, you can start adding items to it. Search for products on Amazon that you would like to include and add them to your registry.

Step 6: Manage Your Baby Registry

As needed, you can continue to manage your baby registry by editing items, sharing your registry with others, changing privacy settings, or deleting the registry altogether. You can also track orders and manage returns or refunds for items purchased from your registry.

Additionally, Amazon offers benefits such as the Baby Registry Welcome Box, which includes surprises for parents and babies. To be eligible, you need to have an Amazon Prime account, add 10 unique items from the Baby Registry Checklist, and have over $10 of purchases from your registry.

Creating a wedding registry

After creating your wedding registry, you can always revisit your list by going to the Amazon Wedding Registry page or by selecting the Wedding Registry option from the Account and Lists drop-down menu. If you want to make changes to your profile information, you can do so at any time by selecting "Settings" from the menu at the top of your registry.

When creating your registry, you'll have the option to add items to it. To do this, search for the items you want to include and, on the product page, select the "Add to Registry & Gifting" drop-down located under the "Add to Cart" button. From there, simply select your Wedding Registry. You can also create or choose a Gift Tag to further personalise your selections.

Remember that you can modify the settings or other options in your registry at any time. To see all your registries and gift lists, go to "Your Registries and Gift Lists".

Adding items to your gift list

To add items to your Amazon gift list, you can either search for the items you want to add or browse Amazon's product pages to find them.

For a baby registry, you can add items by going to the product detail page and clicking the "Add to Baby Registry" button. You can also use the Amazon baby registry checklist to keep track of what you need to add. The checklist has a list of recommended items, and you can check off the ones you already have or don't need and add the ones you need to your registry.

Similarly, for a wedding registry, you can add items to your registry by following the on-screen instructions and selecting "Create My Registry".

It's important to note that your shipping address is kept confidential when creating a gift list or registry on Amazon. Only your name, city, and state will be displayed to those who have access to your list.

Editing your gift list

To edit your profile information, simply select 'Settings' from the menu at the top of your registry. Here, you can edit your name, email address, and other personal information. You can also change your profile information by going to your 'Baby Registry Settings' if you have a baby registry.

To edit items in your gift list, go to 'Your Registries and Gift Lists'. Here, you can add or remove items, modify settings, or make other changes to your gift list. You can also edit items in your baby registry or wedding registry by selecting these options from the 'Gifts, Gift Cards and Registries' drop-down menu.

Remember, you can modify the settings or other options in your gift list at any time to ensure your list is up-to-date and accurate.

Sharing your gift list

Once you have created your gift registry, you can share it with your friends and family. To do this, go to the "Your Registries and Gift Lists" page and select the gift list you want to share. Here, you can choose to share your list via email, social media, or by copying and sharing the URL. You can also choose to personalise your registry by adding a guest greeting and tagging the most wanted gifts before sharing it with others. This can be a nice touch to make the gift list more inviting and exciting for your guests.

If you are creating a baby registry, you can also add a diaper fund to your list. This allows friends and family to contribute towards diapers, with the contributions added to your Amazon gift card balance. This is a great option if you would like to receive gifts that are more practical and useful.

For those with a wedding registry, you can edit your profile information at any time by selecting "Settings" from the menu at the top of your registry. Here, you can change your name, email address, and other personal information. You can also choose to delete your wedding registry if you no longer need it.

Remember, when you share your gift list, your shipping address will remain confidential. Only your name, city, and state will be displayed to those who have access to your list. So, feel free to share your gift registry with your loved ones and make it easier for them to choose gifts that you truly want!
