What message should we include for a birth money pool?

As with any money pool, ensuring its success requires personalizing your text

 Indeed, some people may find online money transfers for a baby gift impersonal

Personalizing the text helps participants understand your intentions and feel their contribution is valued, regardless of the amount.

We recommend you provide information :

• On the purpose of this fund,
• About your family’s situation,
• on the gifts you wish to buy…

And above all, speak or rather, write from the heart! To genuinely connect with others. Lastly, don’t forget to say thank you for every contribution.

When should I create a birth money pool?

The online money pool can be created at any time, either before or after the birth. However, we recommend setting one up a few months or weeks before the birth. This way, it can help cover baby-related expenses like medical costs and room and nursery setup…

For those who are superstitious, you can organize it before the birth, but wait until after the birth to start spending it! Here’s some advice on the 3 optimal times to launch a birth gift money pool:

Pregnancy announcement: if you wish, once the pregnancy is “secure” (we recommend waiting until the end of the first trimester) you can organize your birth gift money pool. Since it’s far in advance, regular reminders can help keep participants engaged, otherwise they may delay and think that they still have plenty of time to contribute!

Around the 7th month of pregnancy: this seems to us the most appropriate time to launch your birth gift money pool. It’s usually around the 7th month of pregnancy that you get into the nitty-gritty of the birth. At this stage, you’ve probably started preparing the baby’s room and buying certain baby items, which gives you a better idea of what you need.

At the moment of birth: baby has arrived! Now’s the time to tell your friends and family about the birth and direct them to the baby gift fund. You can even include a link to the fund in the announcement. It’s a great way to reach everyone.

Our final piece of advice is counterintuitive!

You need to set a deadline for contributions. An open-ended money pool won’t be effective, as participants think they have all the time in the world to contribute. However, it’s important to consider the expected lifespan of your money pool when choosing an appropriate end date. For example, a short window like 2 days can be disappointing. It’s best to give your friends and family ample time to participate.
