Question About Registering and How to Let People Know

in Registry and Gift Forum
Okay, my fiancé and I sent out our invitations but did not send any information regarding where we're registered (granted, we are going to register this weekend, so it's not like I had a proper list to give them anyway, but...).  We didn't do this because we thought it would be a bit tacky and rude, yet now that we haven't done it, I have realized that many of my other friends who have gotten married included their registeries (and _I_ didn't think it was rude or tacky), and now we're at a loss of what to do!  Do you think it would be okay if I just sent a little card with our registeries to those that have already RSVP'd (because the RSVP date is later this month)?  Or do you think I should just scratch it and not really worry about registering at all because technically our place is already furnished?

Help please!

Thank you muchly,
Jessica

    Don't send the cards.  It's considered poor etiquette to ever mention anything about gifts to yoru guests, so you were right not putting it on the invitation!

    I would go ahead an register--you can register for nice upgrades for your home.  Our house is technically furnished right now, but it's with secondhand mismatched stuff that we don't really like.  If people ask you where you're registered, you can tell them.  Word of mouth is the best way to spread registry information!  If you have a wedding website, you can also put it on there.  (Registry information IS appropriate on a shower invitation, but that's it.)

    FWIW, we didn't list registry information on our invitation at all, and nobody has asked us about it, and our registries have had tons of stuff bought off them.  People will figure it out!

    I always check Target and BB&B before trying to ask around to find a registry.

    Yeah, it's not really rocket science.  I usually check BB&B, Target, Macy's, and Crate & Barrel before I ask.  I've never actually had trouble finding a registry.

    I didn't have a single person ask where I was registered, and almost everything we got was off our registries. Your guests will figure it out on their own.
