GiftRegistryBingo.com Launches: Wedding and Baby Shower Gift Opening is Now Fun for Everyone (Instead of Just the Guest of Honor)

Chicago, IL, June 16, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Today marks the introduction of Gift Registry Bingo.com (http://www.GiftRegistryBingo.com), an interactive site that allows wedding shower or baby shower hosts to design and personalize a shower bingo game based on the guest of honor’s gift registry.

“Gift Registry Bingo” (also known as “Shower Bingo,” “Bridal Bingo,” or “Baby Bingo”) is the latest trend in bridal shower and baby shower entertainment. K.C. Gathman, founder of Gift Registry Bingo, knows that often shower guests complain that watching someone else open gifts for an hour is "dull," and they feel obligated to fake ooh’s and ahh’s over items like towels and Tupperware sets. Gift Registry Bingo injects life into the party by making the gift opening portion interactive. Each guest receives a bingo board with the purchased registry gifts scrambled on to the tiles. As the guest of honor opens a gift, the guests mark that off their bingo board. Often the guests cheer for “All I need is ‘spoons,’ open a small one,” etc.

Until now, women have been designing the bingo boards by hand, and painstakingly taking the time to randomize the gifts listed on each one. Some companies have sold blank bingo boards where guests need to guess what gifts will be in the gift pool, and fill in their own boards. However, not everyone has a realistic chance to win then. Also on the market are 10 packs of pre-filled-in bingo boards with gifts typically bought at a baby shower or wedding shower. Again, however, this does not guarantee those gifts will be present at the shower. Not to mention, every 10th guest would have an identical board.

Gift Registry Bingo is the only bingo game maker that allows shower hosts to personalize the design of each board as well as have the specific gifts purchased from their guest of honor’s registry automatically scrambled on to the boards. It is quick (great for last minute party planners) and easy. On GiftRegistryBingo.com, the user can enter the guest of honor’s name and the occasion to have it appear personalized in the title of each bingo board. The user also designs the board by choosing the border colors, tile pattern, and the graphics she would like displayed in the title as well as the free space. Gifts purchased from the guest of honor’s gift registry are entered into a word bank. Each board has an identical design, but randomized gifts entered onto the tiles. The user may print unlimited boards instantly from a home computer for one flat fee of only $9.99.
