    I would not include any registry information in the invite.

    I just asked about that like a week ago because FMIL made a comment about not including it. I guess it's done in some circles, but I don't like it. My registry info is easily accessible on my wedding website (which I gave people the link to on the STDs) and they will get it with the bridal shower invites.

    As for kids, use word of mouth and "Adult Reception to follow" if you really want to put something on it. In the kids case, there is going to be somebody that just doesn't understand no matter what happens and you will have to tell them kids are not included on the list.

    Yeah i have that issue, i KNOW people will brings kids. My FI dad is remarried and has 3 little ones (8.9.12) and theyre the cutest little girls and theyre coming all the way from Kazahkstan (fi's dad is stationed there for work) so obiously THEY are invited. but i just dont want my friends bringing their babies or little kids... then i have the issue that my cousins are still 15, 16 yrs old coming from Peru so i cant tell them they cant come either... ahhhh its so complicated!

    Oh also i sent the website with the STD cards but so far only 50 ppl have viewed it and im sure 30 is ME. can i include a seperate little card with the website domain ? and say something like..
    "For directions, accomodations, registry and more information about our wedding please visit our website @....."

    this way i sneak it in there? or is this tacky?

    I think adding the little card in with the website is a good idea!

    I don't think there is a right way or a wrong way, really. I do agree that you shouldn't put registry info on invite.

    If you have a wedding website that has registry info and an rsvp section, you can put the website address on the RSVP and say they can rsvp there. Once they go on your site, they will see the registry. 

    As for the kids, I say forget etiquette and do what you feel will work with your family. I know I'm very alone in that thinking, but only you know your peeps.

    I originally put "adults only" on mine and had a big tiff with mom and we agreed on "no one under 15" and that's exactly what I put.. "No children under 15".

    Who ever doesn't like it, too bad. I'm not feeding more people. (sorry I'm a bit cranky right now)
