Registry info with wedding invite?

Engagey

I read somewhere that it's proper etiquette to NOT include the gift registry in with the wedding invitation. Are you girls doing this? Or are you including gift registry info? I am asking b/c not everyone invited to wedding will be attending my bridal shower and some of the older folks don't know much about the internet to go on my wedding page and get the info. (Lots of even the younger guests haven't even gone on the wedding page even though it was on my save the date.)

I didnt include it - word of mouth is the "right" way to get the registry info out.

Word of mouth is usually the way to go on this. It's a pain but people will start asking once the date gets closer.

I would not include it. People will know to ask your family or bridal party if they would like to send a gift.

I had lots of weddings last year and most of the invites came with registry info. That's another reason why I"m asking.

I didnt put it on there - its on our wedding website if people are curious

wedding website and word of mouth are the proper place for it... I've gotten invites with the registry info on it and it doesn't bother me, but it's not the proper way to do it.

Engagey,I would not include this on the invitation and do agree it's against all ettiquette to do som, but I do understand what you are saying about the oldies. Maybe you can include the business card of the places you've registered at so it's not permanently affixed to the invitation.I would rely on word of mouth also, but if all else fails, hopefully they will send you cash!

As you already know, it's not proper etiquette.  You said not all of your guests are internet savvy.  If you must include registry info, I like the suggestion above.  Perhaps you can include a card with registry info only for those who can't attend your shower and the older folks who aren't internet savvy.I think everyone will start looking at your wedding website as the wedding gets nearer.

Thanks everyone.I didn't mean I would include registry info ON wedding invitation but include it envelopre (for ex. Macy's cards they give you when you register).

I agree...wedding website is more subtle because people will go there anyways for information.

I have gotten a few invites that include those inserts from the places... Never bothered me but I wouldn't put it ON the actual invitation.Personally we're just putting it on the website and if someone needs to know they can always ask...

Like pp said, it's not proper etiquette. Even if it's on a separate card. Word of mouth works for the elderly folks, and you can list your wedding website on one of your inserts as well!
