How to direct guests to Registry?

Registry information should never go in the wedding invite. The only way to do it is in a shower invitation, on a wedding website, or by word of mouth when someone asks.

View Quoted Comment I’m not having a bridal shower 🙁 A couple of people have asked but no one is throwing one for me as far as I’m aware. The reason I put it with the wedding invitation is because that’s what I’ve seen at the last few weddings my FH and I have attended.

Registries and gifts should never be mentioned in invitations. Unless you're having a shower, registry info should be communicated via wedding website and word of mouth. I'm not sure why you would display it at the wedding when people have already purchased or decided on their gifts.

If you aren't having shower, people will most likely gift you cash for the wedding. I rarely see physical gifts at weddings.

People will have already brought a gift/card to your wedding. Since you asked, yes it seems in poor taste to display registry information at the wedding.

It would be super weird to post it AT a the wedding because most attendees will have already brought a gift or card (if they’re going to). Just keep telling people who ask where you’re registered. Most determined technology savvy people can find registries on their own anyway.

If u do plan it just print something n put it in a frame on the gift table

I've never heard of including registry information in a save the date or invite. Typically the bride and groom list their website, and people look there for the registry. If someone has come to your wedding, they have already purchased a gift or gifted cash, so reminding people of your registry would be super awkward.

Since youve already posted it
on your website and included the slip, there is not much else that should be done except word of mouth. Having it at your wedding would be overkill.

You could politely inquire to close friends, your mother or sister, or future MIL or SIL if they know if anyone is throwing you a shower. That will at least let them know that you would like one without directly asking for a shower. Registry info could go in shower invite, but never in a wedding invite.
If you really want to get the word out, you could talk about being excited about your upcoming wedding on social media and post a link to your wedding website, with the link going to your home page (not the registry page).
If it makes you feel any better, anybody who is not actively looking up your registry is either going to gift you money or something they want to give you ( not necessarily anything you want, lol). 😉 Good luck!

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately , those people were doing something you never should do. Never send out anything about gifts or registries, with wedding invitations. Registries are easy to look up with people's names, online, no codes or links needed. Or, people can call you, text you, email you. As long as they ask you, they are indicating, they want to be generous and give you a gift. If they ask for suggestions, you can mention registries, or something you are saving for, or would like, non-registry. Good manners or etiquette. But when you send out things mentioning gifts or registries, it is seen either as begging for gifts, or having such a big ego you just assume everyone wants to give you gifts. Both are considered bad manners. . . . Weddings are often fairly formal, and call for formal manners, not casual. But really, the standards are much like everyday etiquette. If you got a letter or text from a cousin, or old high school friend, that said, I will be in town next Saturday night, and know you always offer guests a good meal. I would like boiled live lobster on Friday, and shrimp scampi Saturday. And below is a list of what, any of which are fine with the dinners you will be cooking for me. . . Even if you have said before, call us when you are coming to town, and we will make plans, you would likely think someone just assuming you wanted him to come 2 meals without being asked, and worse, suggesting the menu, was rude or presumptuous. And that is what is behind the etiquette rule. Registries are suggestions of some things you would like, if a guest is looking for suggestions. But you do not invite someone to your event, and send a list of things to buy as gifts, like the gift purchase is necessary to go to the event. . . Wait to be asked about registries, or suggestions.

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately I’m not close with my mom and she wouldn’t think of throwing me a shower anyway, and I have no sisters. The only other person that would throw me one is my paternal grandmother and she’s one of the ones who asked if someone was hosting a bridal shower for me and when I said no, she didn’t offer. At this point I have a month until the wedding so I’m 99.9% sure I just won’t have one. I suppose I’ll just wait and see what happens when the wedding rolls around.

View Quoted Comment I actually hadn’t even put two and two together that people would have already figured out what they were getting us if anything by the time the wedding happens, so I suppose it would be a moot point. Guess I’ll just wait for people to ask if they need help!

Word of mouth is your best bet. Our parents and bridal party know where we are registered and if people ask, they let them know. Do not put it anywhere at the wedding.
