Actually, wedding ettiquette on this subject says

"It's never OK to mention anything about gifts in your wedding invitations. Including registry information—even on a separate card—implies that in order to attend, a guest must bring a gift. Let your bridesmaids and close relatives know the shops you've selected and they can spread the news—if asked—by word of mouth. It is, however, standard practice to have your shower hostess list the store(s) where you've registered on those invitations, since the whole purpose of that party has traditionally been to shower you with gifts."(www.brides.com)

I would have quoted theknot.com instead, but their stance is a little more vague, suggesting that you do it word of mouth but not mentioning anything about whether or not to include a list of registeries with an invitation.

I can't believe we're even arguing about this.
