Registry info?

Hettileefd

How do we let the guests know where we are registered?   We are registered with three different stores.  One place sent us little cards to place in with the invites, but three of those falling out of the envelope is just gonna seem ridiculous to our guests.  Should we create our own little card with all the info on it, or should it just be on the invite itself?

You should NEVER include registry info in the wedding invitation!  Registry info should be passed word of mouth.

You should spread the news by word of mouth.

It is considered tacky to put registry information on wedding invitations or even in the envelopes on seperate cards. It is gift grabby. If people want to know where you are registered, they will ask.

You don't tell anybody where you are registered unless they ask.  If you have a website you can put it there, but that's it.

You can include the info in bridal shower invites and on your wedding website if you have one.  You shouldn't put anything about your registries in the invitation.  If people can't figure it out on their own, they will ask and then you can tell them.  Be sure to let your parents know in case people ask them as well.

Yeah, you never include it in an invitation, EVER. Your bridesmaids can discreetly put the info on a shower invite, but that is coming from them not you, so it's ok.

we put it on the website only

We did put an insert in our invitation with directions from the chruch to the restaurant, addresses for both and then "for more information please visit our website at...."  The website has a LOT of information (travel, lodging, directions, reception menu (since it is non-traditional), along with guest book, dance requests, photos, our story, and the registry).

Your guests will assume you are registered, and with three stores, it won't be hard for them to stumble across one of them. If they are truly internet-dense, they can pick up a phone and call and ask someone.

An invitation is a welcome to celebrate a special day in your life. It is not, and should not be, a summons for a gift. Unless you truly believe that is the whole point of your wedding.

(I swear I wouldn't be surprised if someday I saw someone sending out lists of things they want with the time of the ceremony being the footnote.... sometimes I get the impression that is some people's priority!)
