Registries?

What's the etiquette behind having a wedding registry? Do you wait until someone asks you for it or...? Is it bad to tell people "These are our registries, but don't feel obligated to buy anything off of it, it's just so we don't have to answer the same question fifty times"? I'd really like to know so I don't do something rude and nasty by accident once we register for places.

Re: Registries?

  • People will ask. Don't bring it up unless they do. You can also include the info in shower invitations or on your wedding website.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    You should not be advertizing it unasked.  No mention of registries (or of gifts in general) should ever go in your wedding invitations.  If someone is hosting a shower for you, however, they can list where you're registered in the invitation for that.  If people want to know they can ask you, or just google.  It's not difficult to find out where people are registered.



  • Wait for people to ask you about gift registries or preferences before you mention your registries. It comes across as gift-grabby if you bring them up first. That's why they should never be mentioned or included in wedding invitations.
