About how much? We are curious as to whether or not we will have enough to begin a college fund for our daughter.
Thanks!
We mostly got gifts - but we got a small amount of money that we used to open a bank account for him. I have also set up an automatic transfer to his account each week too - just a small amount but it really adds up.
Did you receive money as baby gifts?

I got gift cards to walmart.
My parents gave some money, but they were the only ones… well that isn’t true, we got about $200 from other relatives to now that I think about it. But most people gave clothes and blankets.

money is always welcome. you can buy what you want. I don’t get why people get mad about getting cash.

i didnt get much money for my daughter! it was mostly gifts and some gift cards (walmart and target) most people gave me clothes, blankets, toys…. things like that! every baby shower i’ve been to its been the same as well. if i were u, i would hold off with the college fund till her 1st birthday! that way people tend to give money as well as on the invitation maybe u can some how add that ur trying to start a college fund? i dont know… its just a suggestion! good luck and i love that ur thinking about her future!
