Birth
A new baby brings the whole family and circle of friends together: a group gift, a baby shower, the announcement, visits. Messages come in from everywhere and quickly get lost in chats. Here are the key steps, and how Filomy helps keep them simple.
- 2 months before the birth
Organise the group gift
What makes it complicated
Everyone wants to chip in, but you have to track who pledged what, who has paid, and chase people one message at a time.
With Filomy
The Filomy kitty is free with no commission: contributors pay the organiser directly, who ticks off payments received and sees pledged versus paid in real time.

Invite guests to the baby shower
What makes it complicated
Replies arrive by text, on WhatsApp or in passing, and it becomes hard to know how many people are coming.
With Filomy
You set up an invitation page in 2 minutes and follow replies in real time (yes, no, maybe, plus-ones), with one-click reminders to anyone who hasn't answered.

Share the news
What makes it complicated
You end up sending the same photo and message to dozens of people across several apps.
With Filomy
A personalised card with a message, photo, audio or video is shared with a single link or QR code, for free.

Gather welcome messages
What makes it complicated
Kind words, photos and videos from loved ones stay scattered across phones and eventually get lost.
With Filomy
The online guest book collects messages, photos, videos and voice notes via link, QR code or WhatsApp, with no app or account. Contributions can later be printed.

Plan the visits
What makes it complicated
Everyone wants to meet the baby, and juggling time slots over crossed messages wears out already sleep-deprived parents.
With Filomy
A poll lets you suggest dates and let everyone pick, with a closing date and shared results.

Share photos with the family
What makes it complicated
Grandparents don't always use the same apps and end up missing the news.
With Filomy
The Family wall brings photos and news together all year round, easy for older relatives to browse, with no account needed for family members.

Write to your child for the future
What makes it complicated
A letter written today for their 10th birthday can easily go missing long before then.
With Filomy
The time capsule delivers a message written today in 1, 5 or 10 years, for free.
