announcement wording

So i have a question about my announcements. I have had many people ask me where we are registered who are not coming to the wedding. I was thinking of inserting a card that says:Although you won't be with us on our special day, know you will be in our thoughts.erika and peter are registed at:_______________does that sound greedy putting that in there... i know people want to know, but i don't want to sound like "give us a gift!" any suggestions of alternate wording or opinions.... thanks!!

Re: announcement wording

  • I say follow the same etiquette as with invitations. In other words, do not include registry info.  Make sure those close to you who may be asked (parents, bridal party) know where you are registered, and let word of mouth be the way it's communicated.  To put it anywhere else would be tacky and a faux pas.
  • I agree with Maggy - when you include registry information on an invitation its like asking for a gift - even when you aren't! I wouldn't send out wedding/marriage announcements until [i]after[/i] the wedding either. You could post all the registry information on a website perhaps - and send people the link. Then you could say "if you want more information about the wedding go to www.XandXwedding.com" - or trust word of mouth. If people really want to get you a gift and they aren't coming to a shower or the wedding - they will find a way to find where you are registered! HTH! :-)
