How to Infuse Your Baby Registry With Personal Style
How to Infuse Your Baby Registry With Personal Style

One of the best ways to make something truly special is to add your own personal flair to it, whether that’s covering your favorite notebook in painstakingly chosen stickers or adding your favorite song to your social media profile (ah, MySpace). While you can’t HTML-hack your baby registry (IYKYK), that doesn’t mean it can’t reflect your personality just as well as the rest of the highly curated things in your life.

Personalizing Your Babylist Registry Page

Your main Babylist registry page has the potential to show off at least a little of your personal style thanks to customizable banners. At the very top of your registry account page, you'll find a colorful banner chosen for you by default. Click on "Edit details," then on the pencil symbol on the banner (like in the images below). You can then choose from nine different designs to help bring a little more life and color to your baby registry:

Personalizing Your Baby Products

As you’re building your registry, you’re going to be adding a lot of baby gear to it. But we’re willing to bet that things like your stroller and car seat picks (as great as they might be) won’t really reflect the true you. Your aesthetic isn’t “baby gear,” so this is your chance to show off your favorite hobbies, interests and styles through specifically-designed baby stuff.

Smaller baby items like clothes, toys and books are the perfect way to share your interests and personality with your baby shower guests—and eventually with your baby, too. And thanks to baby brands with tons of beautiful designs and smaller Etsy sellers with customization options, the opportunities are endless to showcase all your favorite things.

Below are some examples of popular interests and styles that are easy to incorporate into your baby registry. But if these examples don't fit you, that's ok! Take this as inspiration to think about your hobbies and all the things you love, and find baby things to show that off. The more personal you make your registry, the more people may want to buy from it instead of going off-registry. Trust us, your loved ones want to buy you the thing that represents your college football obsession or your love of gaming.

For plant lovers

If you consider your houseplants or garden to be your actual first children, the plant designs on these baby items are sure to flourish alongside your real plants (and maybe help pass your green thumb along to your little one).

For Swifties

Good news, Taylor Swift fans: You can share your favorite pop icon with your baby before they’re even born (and not just through playing Folklore on endless repeat). You don’t need to calm down—the real love story here is between your baby registry and these Swiftie picks.

For the Beyonce fans

If you’re expecting your baby to be in the BeyHive with you, you better outfit them flawlessly. Queue up the queen in the delivery room, and get ready for your little one to love her like XO.

For astrology lovers

If you’re looking to the stars to learn about your baby’s personality, you can also bring the stars to your registry. We love these baby products for any fan of astrology (especially that parenting book!).

For Nancy Meyers-inspired style

There’s baby stuff out there for every style, truly, and you’ll likely have no problem letting your personal aesthetic shine through on your registry. If you’re a maximalist, stay far away from greige and lean into all the patterned baby clothes and blankets. Into mid-century modern? Fill your registry with funky toys and decor.

If your personal style leans toward vintage, delicate florals and gingham, these Nancy Meyers-inspired picks below can incorporate those warm tones, mix-and-match patterns and delightful bits of quirkiness into your baby registry.

For dog lovers

Your fur baby deserves to have their moment in welcoming the new baby, too, so show off your love for them with these pup-inspired toys and designs. You might even find ones that look just like your own dog!
