No Bridal Shower, No Save the dates - How to inform of registry

mz1414

Okay so this a second wedding for us both, so we are not being thrown a shower, nor am I wasting money on save the dates.  We have no choice but to include a little map with our invitation, on which I will print a small note that says we are registered.  Is that okay or do I have some other option that I'm not thinking of?  

Also, we were thinking about writing that we are registered at XXXX and also saving for our honeymoon.  Is that a definite no no?

Thanks!

Sorry, it's in poor taste to include registry information on or in your invitation.

Share the stores that you registered at with your immediate family and bridal party and then they'll be able to help "spread the word" if guests ask them.

I normally just Google the couple, or go onto major stores' websites (Macys, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Kohls, Crate & Barrel) and do a quick search for the couple.

Guests will figure it out.

Just word of mouth, nothing else is ok. And since you are doing it that way, it's fine to mention that cash towards your honeymoon would be appreciated.  ~Donna

We were registered and didn't mention it to anyone outside of immediate family and the wedding party.  And lucky for us received several nice items from our registry.  Word travels and people are creative about finding out if you are registered.

What PPs said, it is improper to include registry on anything from you - STD, invites, etc. Showers are sent by the host and thus registry info is acceptable. You can make a website with wedding info and include that on your invite. But is should have info besides just your registry. Asking for cash (for the honeymoon or otherwise) is in poor taste, sorry. People know you want cash - if they want to give it to you they will. GL!

Etiquette-wise, it is rude to include registry information with your invitation.  Do you have a wedding website?  Could you put the website info in the invitation envelope so that people can find the info there?  Or spread the registry info by word of mouth (as in, have someone else spread it for you, not spread it yourself).
