If we aren't having a registry, can we just not mention anything about gifts on the invitations?

My FH is totally clueless and doesn't care about etiquette at all lol.

No registry info on the invite OR an insert. If you have a registry, people can find that on the wedding website, or call and ask. Google searches are always an option too.

ETA: Yes, m, we see that she doesn't want to do it. The registry etiquette information is to explain to her why it's okay to have nothing at all, and gives her something to go back to her FH with.

OP, just because your FH doesn't care about etiquette doesn't mean he should be rude, but I think you knew that, right?

We're not having a registry either and we decided to say nothing at all. Our guests are intelligent people, they'll figure it out.

Asking to hide this thread is just asinine. And clearly did not read the whole post. Also, how is someone going to search for something like this if every *hot topic* is hidden? Come on now.

But to answer your question, just don't mention anything. Even if you did have a registry, putting where you registered is rude because it's basically saying, "Hey this is where you go to buy us shit." I'd just leave it off. People may ask. You just say you didn't register anywhere. Voila!

You are correct and your FH is wrong - gifts aren't mentioned at all on the invitation. Keep in mind that if boxed gifts are common in your area (as they are in some areas), you will still get gifts but without a registry, you will likely get random things that you don't want or need. At least a registry allows you to upgrade items that you need or choose things based on your own taste. If your guests commonly give money at weddings, then you will like receive money anyway.

Also just ignore KD - no need to hide this post. You are being receptive to advice.

Amen, Nicole!

Just don't mention it in the invite. I don't think you should hide the thread, you're just looking for advice I'm happy you asked this question

Ditto what Nicole said. Especially the first sentence. There is nothing wrong with the thread or the question being asked.

OP just don't put anything anywhere. I am not having a registry either - I had a shower, there was nothing whatsoever about a registry or lack thereof on the invite - people are pretty smart, they figured it out, I got primarily cash and some giftcards/physical gifts. A few people were confused so asked my mom/FMIL - I assume the same will happen with the wedding.
