Elizabeth & Lucas's Baby Registry

Hi family and friends!

Thank you so much for helping us get ready to meet our baby girl in August! We are so grateful to all of you for your support going into this next exciting (and nerve-racking!) chapter of our lives!

Her name will be Stella. The name was picked by my Dad, albeit, he did pick it to name his next dog, but we kindly asked him to save it for us because we liked it as a baby name. He reluctantly said fine, but also made us promise if we had a girl, her name would be Stella. So we are really happy we are able to keep that promise we made to him 😄

Now, we will be the first to admit, we don't know much about what we are doing! Most of you probably have more experience with babies and children than we do (I promise, we are reading and researching!), but we value your advice and opinions so much! That being said, this registry is more of a guideline of things we believe we need, but if you have anything non-registry that you find out in the wild that you love or felt like was a must have with your own children, grandchildren, friends, etc. we are happy to accept it! We also obviously love to encourage people to shop locally and support small businesses, so if you wanted to go to local stores and find things that catch your eye, by all means!

For a few local suggestions:

Charlevoix - GaGa for Kids

Petoskey - Cheekade Meekade or Fox & Hound Boutique

Traverse City - Liana's or Sweet Pea

Ann Arbor - The Little Seedling

Also, if you see anything that just screams "STELLLLLAAA" (ha! get it?) feel free to follow your heart! We love fun gifts that feel more personalized to you or make you think of our relationship to you. Feel free to go wild!

We are asking that in lieu of cards that you choose a book to help build our library. Books for any age are great! We would love for you to choose a favorite from your childhood, or one of your children's favorites now! Please also write a note and sign the inside cover so that we think of you every time we read it with her!

We also welcome pre-loved hand-me-downs if you have any of the items on our registry that are in good condition and your babies are no longer using!

Thank you and we love you!
