Amazon registry - best way to let guests know?

I was planning on making a separate enclosure with the link to our registry. Is that appropriate etiquette-wise? (We're also registered at a brick-and-mortar store for those who prefer not to shop online; they provide free enclosures.)

    By 'enclosure' do you mean an invitation insert? If so, do not put ANYTHING in your invitation with ANY registry information. So inappropriate. Word of mouth is the way to spread registries, and people will ask. Or they will google your name + registry and find it, and/or check likely places for your name.

    OK, makes sense to me. I knew not to put it on the invitation but wasn't sure if inserts were OK. I've seen a lot of invitations that had them, but I know that doesn't make it acceptable. Thanks @artbyallie:)
  • Nope, inserts are not okay.  They are just as gift grabby as putting it on the invitation.

  • Website, in my opinion is fine, I view it the same way as if people asked/emailed about it. I also have no problem with the wedding website on an insert as long as it is not just a link to the registry (that would be rude IMO). I know that probably seems like a matter of degree but if the registry info is just one piece of information on the website (along with hotel info, ceremony info, bios/whatever else people put on websites) I'm good. If that's all it is I side eye it. 

    People will ask your family/friends/you where you're registered or Google it.

    I haven't set up our web site yet, but I will this weekend. Most of our guests are in town or less than two hours away, but they're not all familiar with our venue. And we're having a nondenominational ceremony; I'm agnostic, FW is Episcopalian, and our friends and family are just about every faith you can think of, so a guide may be helpful.

    Thanks again, Knotties! 
  • @levioosa, totally off-topic, but I *love* that GIF! I browse on my phone most of the time and don't see GIFs, but on the laptop I finally saw it. 
  • I have a wedding wire website, so everything is on the same page and I stuck it at the very bottom, so hopefully unobtrusive

    We have it on our website in a list of FAQ, but not the link, just the store name.
