Christmas Card Announcement with Registry?

I personally wouldn't include the registry info at all. If people reach out directly to ask about it, it's totally fine to give the info to them. Otherwise, I would leave it out of any card. Love the idea of using the Christmas card to announce the wedding and the new puppy!!

Personally, I don't see any way to include the registry info without it potentially coming across as suggesting people send you a gift, and I would find that very off-putting. An announcement is awesome, but I wouldn't include anything about a registry. It's pretty easy to find a registry online by Googling the couple's names or people can always ask you or a parent if they are interested.

I'd probably do a Christmas Card/Announcement, and maybe include a typical Christmas card-type letter where you catch people up on the big events of your year, like the wedding details and the new puppy. Congrats!

Don't put it in a Christmas card...if people ask, let them know individually.

I like the idea of including an announcement letter. You can maybe make a website and note that in the letter, and on the website you can have a section for a registry.

Don't include the registry information anywhere than replying when someone asks for it.

I like your idea of the announcement letter. Would you send that separately from the Christmas Card? We don't want to include it on the card itself.. but would you include it in the same envelope or suggest sending it separately? I also like the idea of publishing a website and if people decide to visit fine, but ok if they don't also and maybe publishing a registry there. We don't want to offend anyone.

I agree with PPs, I would not include a registry with your Christmas card. I would just give that information to those who reach out to you directly. A lot of people include Christmas letters in the same envelopes with their Christmas cards, just updating everybody on what has happened in their lives during the past year- you could definitely announce your marriage in the letter and include a line that says something to the effect of if you would like more details or to see pictures from the wedding, please feel free to visit our website. You can post photos from the wedding, along with a little written excerpt about the day, and include your registry on the site. Congratulations on the marriage, and on the puppy!!!

Do not advertise your registry info anywhere. Guests will ask you and you share the info only at that time.

Totally agree with everyone!

I think it’s extremely tacky.

Thanks for all your responses. I knew it was inappropriate or tacky but wanted to get clarification or ideas if there were other ways to go around doing this and not actually putting it on a Christmas card. We wanted to include it somewhere as it went out with all our other announcements, but looks like it’s probably a no go. Thanks!

My sister sent a Christmas card when she got engaged literally asking people to send her money. People were highly offended and I feel like a registo would come off the exact same way so I wouldn't do it.

I think if you have a wedding website with pics of your special day you could certainly give your website information, but not on the announcement itself. Most people will want to see wedding pics and read how you met. I, personally, love looking at my friends wedding websites, especially the ones who had a covid micro wedding. Think the Christmas card announcement is a great idea along with the new puppy!! If you have a website, maybe have someone take some pics of the 3 of you. Just a thought. Congratulations!!

I would not put it in the Christmas card, just give it to people when they ask. Buttt if you really wanted a way to do this, you could make a wedding website for the wedding you are thinking about having, put the registry on there, and put the wedding website link on the card. Assuming everyone getting a Christmas card would be invited to your wedding.
