registry info in invites or not?

NicciSal91 · April 2010

i know everywhere you read it says its a no but what are you guys doing?

ThePinkSuperhero · April 2010

"Everywhere" includes here. I'd be surprised if anyone here said yes.

nda_roxybabe · April 2010

Absolutely not. Never, ever.

therickson · April 2010

No... Not even before I knew it was considered tacky by others...

MyNameIsNot · April 2010

Dear God no.

Would you send out Christmas cards and include a wish list? It's the same thing. Incredibly rude.

PsyDet 2155 · April 2010

Put it on your website or tell people by word of mouth.

therickson · April 2010

who voted yes? really?

ces25c · April 2010

I wanna know who said yes too. Since everything, everywhere, by everyone says no, I wish they would have posted to explain.

A friend of mine getting married in June included all there registry info, all 3 stores they registered at! I couldnt believe it! We are simply going to include the web address to our website to which there is a link to our registry list.

I didn't include them because I was told it was tacky. Then all my friends yelled at me for not including them, LOL! If I had to do it again, I still wouldn't include them. You just can't please everybody I guess!

I knew not to do that even way before I came to the knot.

Dear Abby just took on this question in the paper yesterday, her answer was "NO" it's rude. It's like asking for gifts. Use the cards for your shower, but never your invites.

banana468 · April 2010

I knew this answer before TK. NO!

maggyruth · April 2010

I knew the answer to this when I was a teenager, and I remember stopping my one frined who got married young from making just a mistake.

kee80 · April 2010

Word of mouth is the way to go.

apaadzzzz · April 2010

Absolutely not!!! Its ok to put them in your shower invitations, but not the wedding invitation. Other than the shower invites you just have to ask your friends and family spread the word. If someone isn't sure they will probably just ask. Do you have a wedding site? I sent out save the dates telling people to go to our site for travel information. On the site we have our registry information.

When the Macys lady handed me the registry cards I honestly had to ask her what they were for. I was horrified when she told. This never even crossed my mind. It amazes me how many people think of it as a viable option.

eav2c · April 2010

No, NO, NOOOOO!

SuMmErKuTiE · April 2010

Just as pp's mentioned, I knew this was a huge NO years before ever joining The Knot. I can't believe people actually do this!

Jaytee501 · April 2010

No one ever did it in my family & I didn't, either.

I certainly wouldn't print it on a wedding invitation (my MIL boasts about the wedding she threw her daughter 10 years ago, shows off the engraved invitations....WITH registry information printed!) & I did not want to include them in shower invites, either.

One person asked my cousin how everyone was supposed to know "what Jamie wants." My cousin passed on the info about where we'd registered.

Yes, word of mouth: it's that simple & most appropriate.

<div>Same. It's so rude. </div><div>
</div><div>KD, did you see the comments on Dear Abby? Some people were all, "This is such antiquated etiquette! There's nothing wrong with it!" Ugh.</div>

Just had this conversation with my friend who got married a year or two ago. She asked why we didn't put the registry cards in our invites and I told her it's just not done. She said she put hers in and, "why else do they give you those registry cards?"
We went back and forth like that a few times, but since she had already done it I felt weird coming out and just saying that it's extremely tacky or even rude. It surprised me that she didn't know or have a relative who told her not to do this, but now I feel a little more accepting to people who ask really "obvious" questions on here. (not referring to this post, since I know you said you were just curious if anyone was doing it.)
P.S. what is the etiquette on putting a link to your online registry in your signature on here so random people can buy you something? Hahahah just kidding.
