Engagement Party- Registry on invite?

Future Mrs. Mac, on August 1, 2016 at 4:38 PM Posted in Planning 0 9

Hi again,

My FH and I are newly engaged. My parents would like to throw us an engagement party in the next coming months (mostly likely October 2016 since we are getting married 10/21/2017). My FH is a graphic designer and web developer and would love to do the invites. We were wondering if we should create a registry and put the link on the engagement party invite but at the same time didn't want to come off as if we are expecting an engagement gift as most people give wedding and bridal shower presents. What's the best way to word this on the invite? Should we even include it? I just don't want to offend anyone or make them feel guilty for not having a gift.

    I wouldn't say anything at all. People can ask if you have a registry if they're wanting to give a gift. I think engagement parties should be about the celebrating, not putting the idea into people's minds that they need to go get you a gift now (which I think adding that info to an invite would do).

    We did not put registry info on the invites. If people wanted to get a gift from it, they just asked us.

    You shouldn't put it on an invite.

    Make a website and you could direct your guests to the website which should have your room block info, and registry info, but otherwise don't mention it on the invite. People will ask.

    What others have said, leave registry information off. If people want to gift you something from there, they can find out by word of mouth.

    Don't include it. Seems super early/presumptuous to even have a registry this early. If you do register, wait for people to ask.

    Don't put anything about the registry on your engagement invites. They only invite that should have that information is the shower invitation.

    All the etiquette articles I came across for engagement parties stated it was not an event that guests are expected to bring gifts...so I'd leave it off.
