Is this tacky?

I just registered with Younkers, and they mailed me some registry coupons. The coupons are fancy looking, and you can enclose them with the wedding invitations. The wedding guests can then save 10% off of any item they purchase off of my wedding registry... my question is, is this tacky to enclose them with the invitation? I dont want to look like i'm only out to get gifts (they are nice, but that not why i'm getting married!!!). I do think it's great that the guests can 10% on something that they may already pick up. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated! thanks!

Don't use them. It will make you look gift-grabby.  If they want to use a coupon they can cut one out of the Sunday paper.

I agree with PP, the correct wedding etiquette is that you don't put where you are registered anywhere on the invitations or shower invites
.
I would give the coupons to your mom, or if someone is throwing you a shower to them. Then when someone asks where you are registered they can say Yonkers and if you want here are a couple of coupons.

We got those for registering there too and gave them to FI's aunt and grandma who were throwing us a shower and they handed them out to the people we invited so they could use them if they wanted to

i have to echo the sentiments of klovesd. they are nice to have, but don't send them with your invites or include your registry info in your invitations. the "official etiquette" is that it's OK to include registry info in shower invites bc the point is to "shower the bride" with gifts, but guests are not obligated to provide a wedding gift.

they probably don't expire and you may be able to use them to complete your registry after your wedding. just a thought.

I got the same coupons from Kohls. The employee mentioned putting them in with your bridal shower invites. I don't think that's tacky but I wouldn't put them in with the invite.

Agree with PP's. No registry info in wedding invites, though it can be included in the shower invites. I wouldn't put the coupons in either. Instead, I would do what others have suggested - giving them to your close family & friends to give out if it comes up.

Thanks guys for all the input. I've decided not to use the coupons. I think it is a great idea to include them in with a wedding shower invite, however I'm not having a wedding shower. If I was though, thats probably when I would use them. Thanks again for the suggestions!
