registry information sent with invites?

I have seen it both ways, and I don't know how I should send my invites out.  Do you include your registry information with your invites or do you leave it up to your guests to find out themselves some how?  I read the etiquette Q&A discussion, but it didn't give me any warm fuzzys on if it is "proper".  I have several girl friends that are getting married within two months of my wedding and they are divided on if they are going to or have already included registry tags. Most of them think its bizarre that I would consider sending them without.  I definitely do not want to make anyone feel like all I invited them for is their gifts.  What are you all doing?

    Yeah thank the wedding industry for this confusion. Registry info does not belong on/in the wedding invite. When the girl at bed bath & beyond was printing my cards and I told her I probably only needed a sheet or two she said "but you need them for the wedding inserts", I am pretty sure the look on my face said it all but in case it didn't I quickly suggested she pick up an etiquette book and read how it's rude to do that (which yes I know wasn't the best etiquette to say this to her but the words were pouring out before I could stop). She said when she hired on the management told her its standard to include the cards...uh no...

    @fearless, from what I understand, it is standard that BBB gives you cards to include in your invites. Unfortunately, BBB's standard and wedding etiquette are rather... different. But, they are trying to get people to buy their stuff, so... can't be too surprised, I guess?

    Please do not include your registry cards in your wedding invitations. A gift, although usually given, is not required when one is attending a wedding. It is up to the gift giver to find your registry or ask. You might want to register at standard places so that it is easy to find (and it sounds as if you did this.)

    You can have registry cards put in with your shower invitations, as the point of a shower is the "shower" the bride with gifts.  You should not however host a shower for yourself. If you maid of honor/sister/etc has mentioned or talked about shower plans, you could give her the printed registry cards for shower invites and then it will be up to the host on whether or not they will be included.

    I didn't even register at a BBB store and they mailed me out the cards.  
    Ew, that's annoying.

    Our BBB told us she would get them for us.  But then got distracted.  We used that as our moment of exit. :)

    I put an extra card with our wedding website address on it so that people can look there for our registry, as we're not having showers.
