Homepage
(Click here to return to the Table of Contents)
When you're finished with the onboarding, the first thing you will see is the Homepage of your shower.
1. First, take note of where your shower page URL is. This is the custom path that you chose when you completed onboarding. This is the URL you can share with your guests to have them visit your shower page directly
2. Next, pay attention to the buttons you have on your page. The buttons within the the grey bar at the top of your page are buttons only you and your co-hosts will see when you are logged into your accounts.
- The Theme button will allow you to change your theme and customize your page. We have a guide here that will walk you through the theme tab.
- The Admin button takes you into the backend of your shower, where you can customize your Shower Title, create, send and track invites, and add a co-Host.
- Preview | Edit Page allows you to toggle between customizing your shower, and seeing how your guests will see your shower. Please view this article for further explanation!
- Logout allows you to log out of your account.
3. Next, take a look at the buttons under the grey bar. Your guests will see these buttons.
- Home will take your guests to the homepage of your shower if they're on a different page.
- Gallery will take your guests to the gallery page of your shower.
- Guest Book will take your guests to the guest book of your shower.
- Gift Registry will take your guests to your provided gift registry information
- Games will take your guests to the games page.
- Events will take your guests to the events page.
4. Now, let us take a look at the Title of your homepage and first picture/video upload area.
- This area is undoubtedly the first area that your guests see, so this is the best place to make the biggest impression!
- For the Title, we suggest introducing who the shower is for. So you can include the parents-to-be names, or just focus on the little one(s) that are expected!
Here are some examples:- It's Two Times the Love! You are Invited to our Twins' Online Baby Shower
- Oh, baby! We're having a shower and you're invited!
- Ryan and Grace are Having a Party Online!
- Please Join Us in Welcoming the Arrival of Our New Little One/Princess/Prince.
- Welcome to Brandon & Katherine's Virtual Baby Shower
- For the Title, we suggest introducing who the shower is for. So you can include the parents-to-be names, or just focus on the little one(s) that are expected!
- Now that your Title is done, let us personalize the photo/video space more!
- For the photo/video block, we suggest you upload a picture of the parent(s) to be or a sweet welcome video! We have a guide here on how to upload a video.
5. Now, the next most important part of your page is the Welcome block! This area is your chance to greet your guests and instruct them on what to do within the shower page. You can also inform your guests of the video call you have planned. It is always fun to add a little rhyme!
- We have examples of some of our favorite Welcome blocks, feel free to use these and make them your own!

We suggest you upload pictures of the parents to be, pictures of the nursery, any pictures of the baby, and any maternity shoot pictures! Guests love to see pictures, and especially if the shower is completely virtual, this can be your opportunity to show guests what has been going on through out the pregnancy!
7. Now we can take a look at your Registry and Address information.

Gallery
(Click here to return to the Table of Contents)
Click on your Gallery button. This button will take you to your Gallery's homepage.
If you already uploaded pictures/videos here in the step above, then you should already see some uploaded. If you waited to upload pictures, then here is a quick guide on how to upload photos/videos.
Your guests are able to upload their own photos and videos to your gallery. So we suggest you make it fun and have your guests upload pictures of the parents-to-be that they have, or even well wish videos!
To add text to your Gallery, click on the Edit text... box within your gallery. From there, you can greet your guests and instruct them to upload to the gallery.
We have a few examples to help spark ideas.
- Welcome to our gallery! We have many pictures of Abby and Josh through the years uploaded, as most of you know - they have been together for 10 years! High school sweethearts, and now they're having TWINS! Both Parents are super nervous (and SO excited), so please upload videos of you giving them advice on how to care for a new born!

Guest Book
(Click here to return to the Table of Contents)
You can get to your Guest Book in two different ways. You can either click on the Sign Guest Book button on your homepage under your title, or you can click the Guest Book button at the top of your shower page.
When you're on your Guest Book, the first suggest you take note of is your ability to toggle a text block on/off. To toggle that block on and off, simply toggle the switch titled Display Section. This text box will also not show if you do not have anything written in it.
Like previous sections, you can certainly guide the conversation / what role your guests play in your Guest Book. You can also just leave this section blank if you want to let your guests choose their own route.
It is best to keep in mind that conversation starters and ice breakers are always a great way to get the ball rolling!

Games
(Click here to return to the Table of Contents)
The games page allows your guests to play games during your shower, or on their own time. When guests play games, their scores are recorded so the hosts can hand out prizes (or kudos) if they wish! We have various articles here for our Games page.
For the Games page, you can instruct your guests on when they should play the game. Since they are quiz style games, you can ask your guests to play them on their own time; or you can also instruct them during the actual shower itself to play answer the quiz games on a timer - to add a bit more competition in!
