Registry Info in Invitation?

Mandi, on November 7, 2019 at 2:11 PM Posted in Planning 0 12
I received an invite a couple months ago and the details card in the invitations has registry info on it.
So what do you think?
To me it seems convenient.
But I've seen so many things where registry info shouldnt be on the invite, and to me the invitation envelope is considered the entire invitation.
What are your thoughts?

    I don't think there's anything wrong with putting the registry information on a details card. Putting it on the actual invitation, yes that is a big no no. That's what detail cards are for in my mind, there was a time when no one had wedding websites to put their registries on lol

    I think it’s fine to put it on the details card.

    I wouldn't put it there at all. You can have it on your wedding website. If you don't have a website, or if you have guests who don't use it, they will do one of two things: ask you, or give you cash. Neither is a bad result.

    I don’t think it’s appropriate to put in a details card and I’ve also never seen it. The appropriate place for a registry is a shower invitation, word of mouth if asked, or a wedding website. But it’s also been a really long time since I’ve seen physical gifts brought to a wedding.

    I think it's totally fine to put registry information on the details card. I'm just putting ours on the website, but I've been sent a lot of invitations that included registry information somewhere in the invitation suite. I don't think it's as big of a deal as people make it out to be on here.

    I think it's entirely inappropriate to mention your registry anywhere on your invitations.

    I view the "invitation" as everything that is inside the envelope when a person is invited to a wedding. Accordingly, registry information should not be mentioned anywhere inside that envelope, whether it be the actual invitation card itself or on a separate details card. Instead, registry information should be by word of mouth, on a shower invitation, or a wedding website.

    I think this is one of those “things” where the customs on what is or isn’t appropriate really only matters within your group of people. If you’ve been invited to weddings where it’s on the details card, chances are good that your people won’t find it rude! In my opinion, I would be glad to see it on the details card, as it’s possible that I could’ve lost the save the date and need the info! Personally, I’ve decided that we will include just the wedding website on all stationary, they will be able to find the registry there!

    Ehhh the registry info gets given out for a bridal shower. But I put something like "see the wedding website for more information" on the details card.

    I'm actually putting all the registry info on my website then putting the link on the invite. That way my guests have access to everything they need including our registry.

    Probably about half of the weddings I've been to have included registry info on a details type card. I find it convenient.

    Interesting. We attended a wedding Saturday and my FMIL was shocked that there were no physical gifts at the reception.
