List Registries in Invite?

I've been debating on whether or not to list the stores I'm registered at with my invite. They will be on the backside of my map card along with information about the reception hall, my knot wedding website, hotel block info, and I think that's about it. My fiance says it just seems tacky and doesn't think we should do it. My mom thinks it's perfectly fine. I'm torn on the issue. We do have our registry info on our knot website. I'd love to get other views on this. Also, would it be ok to include the registry info for the bridal shower invites?

    Your fiance is right.  It is very rude.

    It is considered acceptable to put registry information in the shower invitations because the whole point of the shower is to give gifts.  It is not acceptable to put it in, on, or anywhere near the wedding invitation because you never assume that your guests want to give you gifts, ask for gifts, or mention gifts unless the other person brings them up first.

    Ditto PP - bridal showers yes...regular invitations...no.  Do you have a website?  Its ok to put it on there.  You could put your website address on the invites and then people could check online.

    Your fiance is correct.

    Registry information has no place in a wedding invitation.

    Your FI is correct.  You never mention gifts or a registry unless you are asked.  Putting it in the invitation is not tacky, it's flat out rude.  

    On the shower invitation, it's ok, because 1) the point of the shower is to give gifts and 2) someone else sends it.

    Your fiance is right. Gifts should in no way be mentioned anywhere in the invitation. And ditto others, it's OK for the shower as the whole point of the shower is to "shower" the bride with gifts.
