Registry Information

I have a dillema with how to pass on registry information.
I know, traditionally everyone should ask maid of honor/best man or the Parents for registry information, however my situation is a bit more complicated.
On FI's side his mother will pass on information so I'm not worried.
On my side: My mother does not talk to the rest of the family, my extended family doesn't like to talk to my father and my sister (MOH) never, ever, ever answers her phone.
I was going to solve this problem by creating a wedding website but my fiance mentioned that my great aunts and uncles refuse to use the internet.

I live in northern Ohio and every wedding invitation I have ever received had a little slip of paper with registry information tucked behind the invitation. Do I have any other options? I'm leaning towards not providing any registry information but my older relatives tend to go to Things Remembered and get me something engraved with my name spelled wrong (lol) so I would really rather give them some alternatives.
*Fingers crossed you girls have another option for me!*

Re: Registry Information

  • Are you sending out save the dates? I've heard it's acceptable to put them at the bottom of those but I'm not possitive.

  • Is anyone hosting a bridal shower for you? It's acceptable to have them put on those invitations since it is a party for presents to shower the bride.

  • Is there one or two of your family members that the rest of your family does talk to? I would think even if they're not in the wedding party it would be okay for them to pass the info on. Could you put a note somewhere on the STD that if people had questions they could call a designated person? I'd hate to say put yourself as that person but Things Remembered gets old really fast, lol.

  • Perfect! I will put my FMIL's phone number in with the save the dates or invites. She doesn't mind getting phone calls all day and I won't have to put actual registry info in either the envelopes :) Thanks for the input

  • I'm glad you found an option that will work for you!

    We are putting our wedding website information on our STDs and invitations. We would have done a website since it is somewhat of a destination wedding and most of our guests are from out of state. This just seemed the most simple and non gift-grabby way to relay the information for us!
