Gift registry on Invitation???

I was wondering how do you let people know where you are registered without being kind of tacky? Do you put it on the invitation? Is that tack?

Are you not having a Bridal Shower?

I would just maybe tell your mother or family to spread it around.

I do plan on a shower, just wasn't sure about this registry protocol. Besides, only some folks will join us for the shower, not all.

If you arent having a shower let it be word of mouth-ask your mother to tell people. If you are then the info can go in that invitation

Even if people arent coming to your shower-you can still send an invite to them wtih the info in it

I did not plan on a shower, actually I told people absolutely NO. On our invitations on the bottom of the Direction card I put..

For further information on Travel & Acccomidations go to ..... and put our wedding website there.

I did this because there is a Gift Registry page and I figured people would take a look.

I am not including registry information with the invitation at all.

We have a wedding website that has photos of us and details about the wedding, it also has a link to our registry. I emailed all my friends/relatives the link to the website several weeks before the invitations went out.

oh

and NY etiquette says no registy info should be with your invitation and is considered tacky (I guess)
Southern etiquette allows for it and isnt tacky

So it really is whatever you want-I wouldnt put registry info in your wedding invitation just your shower invite

to me it is NEVER okay to put the registry information on the wedding invite. that scream tacky....spread the word but don't include it with the invites. it basically says 'heres an invite and heres the place i expect a gift from.' yes, you are registering for gifts and all, but to actually include says i EXPECT a gift from here.

for a shower invite--i think its okay--just not a wedding

Exactly, only for a shower invite. For a wedding invite some people can consider it to be tacky.

Thanks ladies. I will rely on word of mouth, I don't think registry information will fit the elegance I am aiming for in my invitations!!!
