Late Registry

nimitsu · February 2012

My fiance and I originally decided not to do a registry because we really did not need anything, combining two households. He's had a change of heart but the invitations have already been sent out. Is there a tactful way to "announce" our registry??

Well, you never include registry information with the invitation, so the fact that they've gone out doesn't matter. If you have a wedding website, you could add the registry to there. Otherwise, just rely on word of mouth.

FWIW, we had a registry and did not announce it or include it on the website. We received plenty of registry gifts, so I must assume that there were no problems finding it. Most people just google it.

Exactly, it's just word of mouth anyway, so you're fine if you want to go ahead and do a registry and let people know if they ask. But if your invitations have gone out I'd do it soon in case people start checking around to see where you're registered!
