Shower Invite with Registry Info?

Hi all!

My step sister (MOH) has offered to host a shower for me, but has asked that I help her with designing the invites since I already found a graphic designer I like for our wedding invites and STDs. (To be clear, I will order them to her home where she will send them out and act as host.)

All of the templates I've seen include registry information, which seems helpful as a shower is a gift giving event. I just wanted to confirm whether there is any issue with this, or if the invite should simply list the wedding website where registry info is available?

    It is okay to have registry info on an insert, not the shower invite itself.

    ETA: I apparently got confused and it's okay to have registry info on the shower invite. My bad!

    Wouldn't bother me a bit.

    I would hope to see the registry info in or on the invitation.

    Thanks so much. It sounds like I will have an insert created to be on the safe side. That should satisfy the need to provide helpful info, but also not offend anyone.

    Cheers!

    showers are intended to be a gift-giving event, which is why the bride doesn't host them herself.  becuse the intention of the shower is to give gifts, it's not against etiquette to put registry info in or on the invitation.

     

    weddings are NOT intended to be gift giving events, which is why if you put registry info on the wedding invite it looks bad.  t's like you're saying "i've decided to make this a gift-mandaory situation, and here's where you can do your shopping."  not cool.

    It absolutely can be on the actual shower invite.

    Yeah it doesn't need to be on an insert.  That' silly and will make the envelope weigh more.  Seriously, shower invitations are not where you want your MOH shelling out more money in postage.

    It can totally be on the actual invitations, since the entire point of showers is to give boxed gifts.  Don't put any mention of it in the wedding invitations though.

    Shower invites I receive always have registry info on them.  I find it helpful, I'm bringing a gift to the shower so I need to know where to shop!

    Thanks so much ladies. I'm going with a mention on the invite itself (obviously just the shower invite... No mention on any correspondence from me including STD or wedding invites.) the simpler I can make it for guests and my sister, the better.
