Not having a shower.

in Registry and Gift Forum
So the deal is I'm most likely not having a bridal shower. My MOH can't afford this in anyway shape or form. My mother still says we need a registery. I've been reading these forums for a while now and found that it is bad etiquette to put any info about a registery in the invites. I have only been to two weddings and that was when I was very young. Needless to say I have NO clue what I'm doing and neither does my MOH. She's married but her and hubby got married at the used video game store where they both work. Which is adorable. So ladies, help a young, confused, inexperienced bride to be out please!!

    You are right, it is rude to include registry info in the wedding invitation.  But that doesn't mean you can't have a registry.  

    Create a registry and let it spread by word of mouth.  If people want to give you a physical gift for the wedding, they'll ask about a registry or google it.

    No, you don't put registry info on a wedding invite. Some people would rather give a physical gift rather than a check. So, you can create a small registry for that. In that case, they would just ask your or your FI's family. So, your registry info will just travel word of mouth.

    Just to clarify I was NOT going to include any mention of the registry in the invites. We're both all about bending and breaking rules but I refuse to be rude. I just didn't know a good way to go about it. Thanks for the input, I'm sure my chatty loudmouth family will know about it one way or another lol. Thanks ladies! I need all the help I can get!

    Plenty of people also google it or search specific stores.  I always check Macy's first, BBB second, and then WS/PB third/fourth.

    People will ask about your registry - I know my mother got plenty of calls, as did FI's mother.  People ask me, too.

    If I were you, I'd still create a registry, and let it spread by word of mouth.  If you are doing a wedding website, you can also put the registry info on there.

    When I'm invited to a wedding, whether I'm invited to a shower or not, I expect them to register and I start looking at the stores that people seem to register at most often until I find their registry.  So yes, register.

    In addition to word of mouth whenever people ask where we are registered or what we want, we also put a link to the registry on our wedding web site which I think is okay because that's still people looking it up and seeking it out.  We did enclosure cards with our wedding invitations where we provided our contact information and wedding web site and put a map on the back to show people how to get to the venue and where to park.

    Whoever said it was supposed to be happily ever after is a big fat liar.
