Best way to inform

RebelChk

Several people on my guest list that will be receiving invitations aren't computer-savvy, so would it be tacky to include somewhere on the Save The Dates where we're registered at? Or should I just have it spread Word of Mouth? One of our registries printed out cards for us to send and give out, so how should I go about doing that?

Word of mouth.

Don't use the printed cards.  They are advertising for the companies, and not etiquette-friendly.

Your guests can ask your parents or wedding party - or you - where you're registered.  Don't put it on an invitation or  STD.

I agree with hlq.  If guests want to know where you are registered, they will either look it up or ask you, family, or WP.   Registry cards do not belong in wedding invites (although if someone throws you a shower they can be included in shower invites).

We included them on the shower invites.  People may still get you random gifts even if they know where you are registered...

I think you should put the printed cards in your bridal shower invites. That way the guests are still getting the information, but it's not coming from you, it's coming from the shower hostess.

If people want to know, they'll ask.  Most people will google it, ask the common stores, or ask your mom/MOH.

Whether or not to include them or any registry info in the shower invite is the shower host's decision, not yours.

[QUOTE]<strong>Please don't use the printed cards. Write the info on the shower invitation itself. </strong>The stores don't give you those cards to be helpful. They want to ensure that your guests shop at their store. The cards turn the invitation into a commercial. Write it down.

Diddo.  We did this on my shower invites and it looked so much better.  it blended in with the invitation and got the registry information across just the same.

I've received a registry card with a wedding invite and I didn't see anything wrong with it. I had never been to a wedding before, so if it (the registry card) hadn't been included, I wouldn't have even known to ask. I would have ended up not getting a gift for the couple and god knows what they would have thought of  me them. I think including registry cards in invites is helpful and considerate.
