Adding a Savings plan to baby registery?

Hello All

We will be having our baby shower soon, and I was curious if anyone knew of a way to creatively include an opportunity to contribute to a college savings fund. At the moment, we have a registery on Amazon, and a quick search didnt turn up opportunities there. 

Has anyone else used this idea, if so, how did it work out?

Thanks

    IMO it's never polite to ask for money as a gift. If people want to give money towards college they will (many people did when my girls were born) but it's really tacky to request it.

    Asking for money for this will not go over well.

    I skipped a friends baby shower because her invitation read like this:

    Having a girl but no pink and purple

    Only organic fabrics

    no disposable diapers

    no pacifiers

    etc.

     

    It's not nice to tell people what to buy for you.

    Asking for money is tasteless. Take any money you receive and put it in a bank account. Voila. Savings plan.
