  If you google H's and my name, you won't find our wedding website or registry.  I would have hated that for privacy reasons.
  
  In the days before Macys decided to make registry cards, people managed to get information to their guests by letting the MOB/MOG/MOH know where they registered, and voila, guests could figure things out.  Having registry information on the wedding website is probably also fine.  There are ways of letting people know where you're registered without sending out those silly cards (which, thank goodness, I've never received).

  My finace and I were thinking about doing online RSVPing but I was hestatant to rely completely on this since I know some of my older family members can barely even turn on a computer, let alone navigate it. Our comprimise was to do and RSVP card saying:
  
  

  The favor of your reply is kindlyrequested
  by June 1st by mail or online at:
  Theknot.com/ourwedding/
  Esther_____&Adam______
  
  M___________________________
  
  _____ Accept with pleasure
  _____ Decline with regret    
  

  
  

  However, on the knot there is also a link on our menu to our registries.
  To me this was totally fine since it would be the guests who chose to veiw our registries if the do see it online and it's in no way pushed into their face.

  Call me rude then. FI and I put them in our invites mainly because we had people specifically ask if we had registry cards. We know our friends (most of which are just out of college) and most of our families don't have the money to buy a lot, so we don't expect them to bring anything; we just want THEM there to celebrate with us. As I said in another post, we didn't realize it was against Miss Manners to send these cards...
  
  I wouldn't be offended if we got them (obviously), I guess it depends on how you, as a guest, receive them. If you know the couple well (and I assume you would if you are invited to their wedding), and know they don't EXPECT you to bring a gift, then it's being sent as a courtesy.
