Putting registry slips in invites? To do, or not to do?

Tacky.

not to do.

give these to your person throwing your shower so they have the info if anyone askes. somewhere on the website is OK but NEVER on an invite or with one.

Shower invitations - YES

Wedding invitations - ABSOLUTELY NOT EVER

If you are having a shower- whoever is hosting can tell people. Generally speaking people suggest word of mouth. I've listed my registry on my website (along with lots of other important info like directions, accommodations, and ferry schedules). I listed our website on our save the dates and the invites.

So simply yes it may be considered tacky to put an insert in. If someone ask you where you are registered you can just tell them too!

Wow this is interesting.. I put my registry slips with my wedding invites.. People were also saying the same thing, don't forget to let me know where you registered.. No one has said anything to me negative when we did this. I guess everyone is different.. Just saying..

When I received invites for weddings people also attached their registry slips.. I didn't have a wedding website so how else was they going to know???

Ok thanks ladies! I felt like it was tacky too... But FMIL strongly suggests I do so I wasn't sure.

I put my website on my save the dates.... Should I put it again on invites for all extra info. Or, once is enough?

@mrs. Roberts.... I've received inserts with invites and didn't think it was tacky.... I can see it both ways. On one hand its asking for gifts, instead of just inviting to a celebration. On the other hand.... People want to know where your registered and its a little awkward when people ask. :/

I would definitely not add the registry slips to the wedding invitation. That really is only for the shower, in my opinion.. If you have a wedding website, that information will already be on there anyway. You can add your website to your invitation. I'd do that instead of adding a registry slip.

It's a big no no. I didn't do it. But I was surprised at the number of people who picked up a random gift card to a random store instead of checking the website or asking a family member...

@Kalia I didn't think it was tacky either.. But that's what I did and no one said anything negative.. Thanks for understanding..

Noooooooooooope. Make sure you have the info available on your website....and make sure you include the website in your invites. Also, make sure your parents know where you are registered.

For the most part, it is an etiquette no-no to include registry info with the wedding invite.

In some circles it is acceptable and expected to put registry information in the invite. I did not, but my mom told me, in a worried voice, that I forgot to put the registry card in the invite I sent her. She had never known that it is considered rude. When I told her, she was then worried that she commited a faux pas since she put registry info in the shower invite. I just smiled and assured her it was ok.

An insert in our invitation points people to our wedding website, which does include registry information. As far as I know, that is perfectly acceptable.

I didn't include the registry information in our invitations, but my future sil who got married last January *DID*, on the r.s.v.p.cards. I did put registry information on the website only. I didn't even have the 2 showers that are being thrown include the registry on invites, it's strictly word-of-mouth or if you go to my wedding Wire website.

Also ladies, apparently all of our wedding thank you cards should be out within the month that we're married, you don't have a "month to do them" apparently. . . accordign to etiquette. LOL. I was going to aim for that but I'm aslo doing 2 thank you card batches for 2 showers, which is like maybe 20-40 people total possibly more (60 total between both showers). I fully intend to send thank you cards that are personal though for the wedding to EVERYONE attending. I have recently noticed a bride who didn't do that (two actually) and I think of them as somewhat tacky and rude now haha.

I put my wedding website on my save the date and at the bottom of my "Directions" insert of the invitation saying "For more information: call (FOB cell phone number) or visit (wedding website)"

HA! @Anonymous, my wedding is basically at the end of the month. That seems like some bogus etiquette to me. I will hardly be back from my honeymoon when the next month rolls around. I will get them out in a timely manner, and I feel that is etiquette enough.

As to the registry cards, I am NOT including them in my invites. Though my in-laws thought they should go in them. And almost every wedding I've been invited to, they are included. I am simply having an info card that says "for things like maps, hotels, and registry, please see our website". That's not exactly what it will say, but that's the jist of it.

DON'T DO IT!!! Tacky! It is ok to send registry info with invites to a bridal shower but never with the wedding invite. If someone wants to know where you are registered or what you want, they will ask. You want them there to celebrate your day with you, not to bring a gift.

What I was told when I went to an invitation place was that you could put a slip in the invitation saying "for more information please see rachel and brandon's webpage" and provide the webpage. On there you should have your registeries! SNEAKY!

No definitely not. If you have a website, just put all the info there.

EVERY WEDDING ETIQUETTE SITE SAYS NOT TO DO IT.

Of course the retailers want the advertisement! :-)

You can put it on your website and put your website on the invitation, like in smaller font at the very bottom. I think that would be okay.
