How do people know where you're registered?

We have ours on our wedding website and it will likely be spread by word of mouth as well.

Really, anyone who's ever been online should just google "couple's names + registry" -- but that doesn't seem to cross most people's minds lol

But putting it on your website is definitely the way to go. We did online RSVPs, so we included a card with our invite directing guests to reply and find other info at our website.

Google.

Shower invites, word of mouth, wedding website.

Ditto to what everyone else said, I would like to add that yes, although people do it, a card with the registry information with the wedding invitation is not good etiquette.

Ettiquette says that registry information should never be included on a wedding invitation. The information is spread by word-of-mouth and can be included on your wedding website. (It's fine to include registry info on a bridal shower invite)

Google also comes in handy

It's rude because it implies that your gift information is essential information, like when and where to be. But it's not, since a gift is not required. It's not the worst etiquette violation in the world but still something that should be avoided.

But yeah, google, shower invitation, word of mouth, wedding website.

We are only listing it on our website, nothing will be included with the invitations or on an insert card. I figure for those who don't use the website, they will either ask us or our parents about a registry if they are wanting to know.

What Celia said. People also asked my mom or myself. It's okay to include on a bridal shower invitation (bridal shower should be hosted by someone other than immediate family).

We had ours printed with our shower invites. And also on our website. If people asked we told them too. Its definitely not polite to put them on your wedding invitation or in it for that matter.

It can go into shower invitations (because a shower is always given by someone else, not you).

It can go onto your wedding website.

If people want to give a gift and don't know what you want, they will ask you, your parents, or members of your bridal party. So tell your parents and your bridal party, and any guest who wants to know can easily find out.

Ours was on our wedding website and the wedding website was mentioned on the STDs for the general info, travel, hotels etc. My MIL had it also on my Bridal Shower invite.

@missEtoMrsB- I don't think its a big deal on a website seeing as though you are putting the info out there, there is even a section for it. The info on the invites though is tacky IMHO.

I coulda sworn WW forums used to advise people not to include it on your wedding website and word of mouth and private messaging were the only acceptable ways to give out registry info. *shrug*

Is it taking to put a slip in with your invites saying for information on accommodations and more please visit our website?

our site hosts accommodations, the registries, guest book, activities for out of town people and more.

Stacy, as far as I'm aware, those are usually referred to as information inserts and are perfectly acceptable to include with the invitation.

So many people think it's ok to add in those little cards because stores give them out (which they do because they want the sales and don't care if you look bad). Put the info on your website, on your shower invites, and tell anyone who asks.

I've hosted a few showers and always add those little cards in the shower invite. I'm super surprised how many people have asked me where we are registering. I think word of mouth is key.

I go to the websites for Target, BB&B, etc. and search for a name. 99% of the time I find a registry. In the 70's-90's, I could somewhat see this being an issue, because you would have to physically go to a store and ask someone to check their books. But in 2015 you can pull a registry while sitting on your toilet. If someone wants to get you something from your registry, they will find it. If they want to buy you something else no insert or wording on a website or invitation will change their mind.
