Registry Information Cards

rivmich

Whats your take on including registry information with your wedding invitations?
Are you for or against it?

baystateapple

Against.

Toss 'em in the garbage.  I think it's okay to include them in your bridal shower invitations, but you should never, ever put them in your wedding invitations.

No registry information should go on the invitation at all.  It's very bad ettiquette.

You can include those with the bridal shower invitations if you want, however, as those are expected gift-giving parties.

Definitely against.

You can include an insert with a wedding website which could have information regarding hotel blocks, directions, your registry, etc. That is acceptable. The card should say something like "For information on hotels and local attractions, please visit

Macy's lady gave them to me after I told her I did not need them...

I am against them in invitations.

Against- although I got some for both weddings we went to in 2011 before ours! I seriously couldn't they put them in there- that's what your wedding website/parents/calling the to-be-weded is for.

Definitely against, for all of the above reasons. 

Have people used these cards for their shower invites, or just listed registry info on the shower invitation itself?

Against! Stores will hand them to you often when you register and tell you to put them in your invitations because they want to make money; they don't care a snit about good etiquette. Putting them with your actual wedding invitation or STD makes you look gift grabby.

They were in the registry packet Macy's gave us. It's definitely confusing when they tell you "Put these in your invites!" because if I didn't know better, I might have.

I would just toss the cards.  Like PPs said, no mention of registries in the wedding invitation.  You could give them to your shower hostess for the shower invites, but I think it's nicer if the hostess just writes registry info right on the invite rather than having multiple little slips of paper in the envelope.

Against.  If you are looking for a way to direct your guests to a wedding registry more subtly, just include an insert in the invitation that provides guests with the wedding website:  "For driving directions, hotel accommodations, and other information please visit ourwedddingwebsite.com," then include a link to the registry on the wedding website.

specialk84

Against. I can find a registry without the card.

For some reason it's OK to put this on your wedding website if you have one.  Or let it get out by worth of mouth, or people will ask directly.  Then you can answer because that person sought out the information themselves.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Well, since I'm a regular on an etiquette board, which is concerned with good etiquette, I am against it.

MNVegas

I vote against

A friend who recently got married put registry information on his save-the-date magnet, added the BBB inserts into the invitation, and didn't send a thank-you note yet (the wedding was in the beginning of October). I'm dying inside.
