Plan a baby shower without the back and forth
The date, the guest list, the games and the gift. Plynr keeps the whole shower in one place, so the parent-to-be can relax and enjoy it.
Sound familiar?
Finding a date before bub arrives
There’s a small window, and fitting family and friends into it takes far too many messages.
Coordinating the hosts
Food, decorations, games and the gift are split across a few people, and nobody’s sure who’s doing what.
Guests need the details
The address, dress code, gift ideas and whether partners are invited all get asked separately.
How to plan it in Plynr
1
Find the date
Send a Poll with a few weekends that suit the parent-to-be. Everyone votes, and the winner updates your Plyn.
2
Send one Event Plyn
Add the time, location, theme, dress code and gift details. Guests RSVP in seconds via the app or on the web.
3
Keep the hosts on the same page
Set up a hosts subgroup to split the food, decorations and games, and let reminders do the chasing.
4
Relive it afterwards
Once the shower’s over, it becomes a Past Plyn. Everyone adds their photos, and you can keep private notes of the sweet moments.

Questions
When should you have a baby shower?
Most baby showers are held four to eight weeks before the due date, while the parent-to-be is still comfortable and there’s time to use the gifts.
Who usually hosts the baby shower?
Often a close friend, sister or family member, sometimes a few people together. In Plynr the hosts can plan in a private subgroup.
How long is a baby shower?
Usually two to three hours. Long enough for food, a couple of games and opening gifts, without wearing out the guest of honour.
What should go in a baby shower invite?
The date and time, location, theme and dress code, gift details and whether partners or kids are welcome. In an Event Plyn it all sits in one place, so guests have everything they need.
