Telling guests where we're registered

What is the normal way to tell people where we're registered?
Should we just wait until the guests actually ask before telling them or does it get printed somewhere when the invitations are sent out? I don't want to seem gift grabby, so we might just wait until we're asked before letting our guests know.
Just curious what the norm is for engaged couples?

    Wait until your asked or have it on your wedding website (you can direct guests to your wedding website for more information, not directly to the registry). Registry info can go on your shower invites (since it's a gift giving occasion) but on your wedding invites is rude since it makes it look like people HAVE to give you gifts (which they don't). Also keep your parents/WP in the loop so they can answer where you're registered if people ask.

    wait for people to ask you/your family/your bridesmaids etc. once they ask you tell them directly where you're registered but don't send the info along with the wedding invite.

    I am having an insert in invite with directions to church and "for more info go to our website".  I have registry info on website.  But website also has pictures of us, maps of ceremony location, maps of reception location, story of how we met, story of how he proposed, wedding party, registry info, etc.  So directing guests to our website is not solely for registry.
