  I'm not putting registry info in my invitations, but it will be on my shower invites. If people want to know, they will ask me or my mom. It's also on my wedding website.

  I did not put them on my invitations. I thought the same as you though cause i have seen it on all the ones ive received and never thought it was rude.  It was just on my shower invites and website.  But most people have found out through word of mouth

  I plan to put the info as an insert in my invitations. I always thought the same thing... "How will people know where a couple is registered??"
  
   My opinion is that they are helpful as opposed to being rude. The E board would probably kill me for that lol.

  LOL! My thoughts exactly so I thought it would be best to post here :) I have always seen the registry info in every wedding invite I have received. I never thought it would considered "rude" or "tacky" until I started planning for my own wedding.

  Personally I wouldn't do it as I do think that it is rude.  The wedding is not about gifts.  It's a celebration of your marriage.  Gifts may be customary, but they are not required.  A shower on the other hand is a pre-wedding gift giving event.  It is where the couple is supposed to be showered with gifts. 
  
  To be honest, if I saw registry information on an invite, I would still be some sort of gift, but I would probably decrease the amount that I was spending.
  
  ETA:  I am from NY and I don't think that I have ever seen registry info on a wedding invite.  I have been married before and I didn't not include my registry info on the invite.  People still were able to find it to give gifts.

  My FI and I were talking about this yesterday and we came to the conclusion it's probably a cultural thing. Both FI and I are Hispanic and our culture really does not celebrate certain activities such as engagement, bridal, or wedding parties because they are nonexistent. Even engagements rings are not popular in our culture. In all honesty (although I will feel silly saying this), I have never heard of an engagement or bridal party before until I got engaged. I am guess its for this is why I never had a problem with seeing registry info on a wedding invite. In fact, I always thought the couple was doing the invite a favor in letting them know where they can get a gift for them if they chose to, hehe.
  
  Since FI and I spoke about this topic for a long time yesterday, we decided not to include our registry info on our invites but we will inlcude our website info. The website has important info regarding parking, attire, notifications on any food allergies, directions, and of course, our registry info. Lastly, word of mouth is always good so I know someone can always ask us, my mom or FI's mom, or our closest friends where we are registered.
  
  Thanks ladies for your input!

  I am debating this, too. We will probably just put our wedding website on the invites, which has our registry information, among other things like accomodations, etc.
