  Registry information can be included with shower invitations.  Registry information should NEVER be included with wedding invitations.  Many brides have wedding websites that often include registry information as well. 
  
  People typically find out about registries by word of mouth.

  No to the wedding invite but it is fine to put on the shower invite. People can easily look up your registry especially if you register at typical places like Macys, BB&B, Target, etc. or if they can't find it they will ask.

  It is never appropriate to put registry information on a wedding invitation.  You can put it on a bridal shower invitation.

  
  

  As for how people know, they can google it or ask at a store.  They're not even required to use it in gift selection.  They can give you a gift of their own choosing without looking at a registry.  It's up to them.

  Many brides put their registry information on their wedding website.  While it is taboo to mention gifts on the invitation, it is OK to include an insert with your website information.  We used a small business card from Vistaprint that said "For more information about the wedding, directions, hotels, etc., please visit our wedding website, http://www.ourwedding.com."  Do not mention gifts or registry on this card!

  We included a line right on the wedding invite saying to visit our website for more details. There is nothing wrong with including website info on the invite. But you should not include anything on or included with invite that has registry info or references gifts. You can include registry info on your website, but it shouldn't be the first thing they see and it should be kept brief. I had my registry info on the last page of my 8 page website. So, it was there if people needed it, but we didn't throw it in their face saying "buy us stuff". Most people actually just asked us or our parents where we were registered though. Or we did have a few people that just found the registries themselves (Target & Bed Bath & Beyond). If people want to buy you gifts, they will figure out how to do it without you including it in the wedding invite. Shower invites are a different story, since the shower is meant to be a gift giving event. In that case, it is okay to include the registry info on the invite or include a separate card with the registry info. I had a small separate card included with the shower invite (that we typed ourselves) that listed where we were registered, as well as the registry numbers. I've also seen it added as a line on the bottom of the shower invite saying "The couple is registered at: Target, BB&B, and Macys"
