All,
I have a question about registry (and I guess invitation) etiquette. I've read that it is not a good idea to include registry information in your formal invitation (which I agree with), but what about bridal shower and engagement party invites? I'm not itching for gifts by any stretch (my fiance have been living together for 1.5 years now, so we really don't need/want much anyway), but I know people will be inclined to get us gifts regardless. We are having a destination wedding and only inviting about 65 people, but going to do a larger engagement party here locally. Is it bad form to not invite some of the people we're inviting to the engagement party to the wedding? We've been telling friends/extended family/co-workers who ask that we're having an intimate destination wedding with just immediate family and a few close friends, but we're going to have an engagement party here, and we'd love for them to attend. Is this ok? Also, should registry info be word-of-mouth only? We have a Facebook wedding page (it's private and only those who we are planning on inviting to the wedding are on it); should I post the information on there? My fiance is a very private person, and (for whatever reason) doesn't want me to make an "open" wedding website on TK or otherwise.
Thanks as always!
A
