Repost from 08 board: dear abby
This is a common topic addressed on these boards, thought some of you might want to read it:
DEAR ABBY: I am being married in three months. Now I am wondering what the process is for letting friends and family know where we are registered. I read somewhere that it is not appropriate to include this information on the invitation. Is this true? -- POLLY IN POCATELLO, IDAHO
DEAR POLLY: Yes, it's true. And you probably read it in my column. This is how the information should properly be shared:
1. The invitations are sent out.
2. When the RSVP cards are returned, those who plan on attending should contact you or your fiance and ask where you are registered.
3. At that time, the information should be transmitted verbally.
4. Because many couples set up Web pages with all the information about the wedding -- including where they are registered -- prospective guests can be referred to the Web page.
