Wedding Invitations & Paper

How do I let my guests know where I'm registered?!?

I'm so confused! I've heard it's tacky to include an insert in my invitation and that my guests will know who to ask, but our guests don't know our families (out-of-state) and I KNOW not all will go to our wedding website. What should I do? Please help!!!

    If they don't know who else to ask they will ask you directly. If they still can't figure it out they will likely give you cash. Don't worry about it.

  • Your guests are not your personal shoppers.  They can choose a gift from your registry, or they can choose to give you something else entirely.  If they want to shop from your registry, they will ask.  You are not allowed to suggest that they refer to your registry unless they ask you.  Just write nice thank you notes for whatever you are given.

    If they want to know, they will ask you.

    ETA: Or they will just check some of the standard places and see if you are registered there. This is very easy to do online.

    You wait for them to ask you directly.  Then you can tell them where you're registered.

    Or they'll look online.
  • Im making a wedding website. If they want to seek out information, then it's on them to jump on. It's not that hard, all of them have internet. Or they can ask and probably will.

     I'm putting a little card in my formal invite about the website having information on everything. It at least points them in the right direction of a blanket of questions and I don't think that is tacky to include that in a invitation.
  • Google your and your fiancé's names and the word registry. I guarantee you'll find yours. This is what your guests will do, too!

  •  If a guest asked where we were registered, we told them. Otherwise, we didn't voice where we were registered. We had our website printed on our save-the-dates, and had our registries on the website. As well, my BMs had registry cards in with my bridal shower invites. We registered at the same places for the shower & wedding, so I'm sure guests likely assumed they could go look up either of those stores. 

     Otherwise, for showers/weddings I've been invited to, I usually just ask someone where the bride/groom are registered for the shower, (if there isn't registry cards included with the invite), and we usually always give cash in a card at the wedding.
