Forgot Bridal Registry cards in invitations-what to do?

Luca, on July 26, 2014 at 4:44 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

I mailed all the invitations and forgot to put the bridal registry cards in. Is there any protocol for letting all the guests know?

    I'd spread it by word of mouth.

    Also, people tend to google it. Most registries can be found there.

    Put in on your website. Or i'm sure people will ask the MOH or your family.

    Your mistake is actually better etiquette! You're actually not supposed to talk about where you are registered in your invite. If you have a website put it there, if you're having a shower then the person throwing the shower can put it on the invites to the shower (or tell people where you are registered). Also tell some of your close family and friends and they can spread the word for you.

    I always wonder about why people think they need to put registry information in an invitation. What do you think your guests will do if they don't have it? Not give you gifts? Really????

    Some people prefer to give cash for weddings. Some prefer to give things that they have picked out. Neither of these groups needs to know about your registry, anyway.

    Those who prefer to give tangible gifts, and who don't have something in mind, will typically ask you what you want. At that point, you can tell them where you are registered. It really isn't that hard.

    Registry cards don't belong in your invites.

    You "mistake" is actually correct. You should never put a registry card in an invite. Word of mouth is best way.

    That was lucky! Those cards don't belong in your invitations anyway, so you did it the right way.

    I was going to say the same thing as Celia .. Bridal registry cards don't belong in wedding invites.. I was told if people want to purchase from your registry they'll find it.. Otherwise the cards are only for your shower ..
