Registry on the wedding invitations yes or no?

landry1113 · July 2012

I know you normally put the wedding registry on the shower invites, but what do you do if your not having showers? Can you put the registry on the actually wedding invitations or is that tacky?

Nope. You shouldn't include it with your invitation regardless of whether or not you're having a shower. You can, however, include a link to your wedding website so long as it has other information about the wedding (hotel block, etc.) and the registry information isn't right smack on the main page.

Registry info does not belong on the wedding invite.

Absolutely not. Under no circumstance should there be any mention of gifts anywhere near a wedding invitation.

If you're not having a shower, the whole gift registry situation doesn't change. It's still a no-no to put the gift registry on the invitations.
You could put it on the website or use word of mouth, of course. That's how they used to do it in the old days, word of mouth. Worked just fine then.

Previous posters gave good answers, but I just wanted to say: don't worry, people will find it even if it isn't listed anywhere. From what I can gather, most of the guests that were close to our age just searched for our registries online (you can just google the couple's names or search a few of the major stores), and the older guests called my parents to ask where we registered. And then people all just spread the info to each other. The guests came from all over the country and all different social circles, and we got something like 50% registry gifts, 49% cash, and 1% off-registry gifts (well, just 2 items).

not on your invitations you can put it in as a small business card or something smaller for your guest to read, but no not on invitations

This incorrect. There should be no mention of registries anywhere in an invitation, not on the invitation, or as an enclosure.
