XP: Bridal Shower Confusion

So I went to a Bridal Shower this last weekend for a friend of mine, and she had put on her invites where she was registered for her wedding. I am just a bit confused I guess, I don't understand why you would put your wedding registry info on the Bridal Shower invite. I thought the wedding registry was for gifts for the wedding.... I am totally confused here.... maybe I am just having a moment.... and not an intellegent one.... Thanks Ladies!!!

    imo, it's okay etiquette-wise to list registry info on the Bridal Shower invite because usually the MOH or someone other than the Bride/Immediate Family is hosting.  But you aren't "supposed" to list your registries on the actual wedding invite, since you and your immediate family are hosting that event.

    Registries are for both Showers and the Wedding.  At my Shower I got a lot of kitchenware, which came from my registries.

    Showers are meant to "shower the bride with gifts", so it is normal to include the registry information on invites.

    IMO, gifts are supposed to be given at the bridal shower and if you're not doing a theme (naughty, cooking, wine, ect) I would put to purchase gifts from the registry. I would rather buy something off someones registry then try to guess what to get them. I am throwing a bridal shower for my best friend in a few weeks and she is having a very small wedding (20 people) at the top of the mountain so we are doing a shower for all of her friends to come to and I included on the invite where she was registered. This of course is all in my opinion which may not be the same as others and definatly not "the tradition".
