Is it OK to include Registry enclosure cards with my invites?

No it is not ok to put them with your wedding invite. they go in the bridal shower invite or on your wedding website

Yep, what Mrs. Lemmon said.

I'm going to include them with my invites simply because I have TONS of family coming from OOT and many are nto computer saavy. Plus, since they're OOT, they can't come to my bridal shower unless I have it the day before the wedding.

Most people will say no i say yes. although i forgot to put them im mine. how will your guest know what you want or need? now people are just calling my mother asking if im registerd or what i want. i would have been so much easier pluse who wants to end up with a bunch of stuff your gonna go return after and have to guess where it was from and you know we all do that! makes things easier and saves time and phone calls i say go for it!

I have to agree with Mrs. Lemmon. I have received invites with the little scraps of paper with their registry info on them. The little pieces of paper are the first thing to fall out of the invitation. I want the guests to feel like we are inviting them to share our special day not just to receive a gift. If we even register, we would add our registry information to our webpage and bridal shower invite.

Including it looks like you're asking for gifts.

It's actually pretty easy to find someone's registry online, it'll show up on a Google search usually.

Id say no. Maybe with the save the dates.

In my opinion, it loos tacky.

Absolutely not. Most of my guests are OOT and I still put my registry info on my website only. It has always been the norm and proper etiquette to not include the registry cards, so I'm sure guests will figure it out (call your parents, go to your wedding website, google your name).

Personally I would never do that!! If your BM's or someone is planning a shower they could include it then, but not on the wedding invite. I didn't even include our website on our invites, only the save the dates. You could do the same and include registry info on your website.

That and your parents will be able to spread through word of mouth where you're registered and someone interested in buying you a gift from your registry will find a way to figure out where you're registered at.

NO, No, no. It is tacky and uncouth.

I say HELL YES! haha They say its not Proper etiquette, but in my wedding there's a whole lot of "not proper etiquette" lol

For starters I'm wearing blue shoes! (yes its very common now) but My mother told me THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE WHITE?! I just laughed...lol

Also I included registry info on my invitation because I'm NOT planning on invited ALL 150 guest to my BRIDAL SHOWER and how else are they going to find out where i'm registered? Half of them know how to use internet for a wedding website, and i hate NO time to call or (answer when they call to ask) each and every one of my guests to let them know where we're registered (plus that seems more tacky than sending them with invites) i feel like everyone includes them in the invites now-a-days anyway...idk.. just me i guess. I'm weird like that haha

Anyway... I think its like EVERYTHING WEDDING RELATED.. DO as you please!

I think it's ok to include them if you want registry gifts instead of cash. Personally I would rather take the cash

Blue shoes have nothing to do with etiquette, but rather tradition.

It is considered extremely bad taste to include any registry info on the invites. As Mrs. M demonstrated, guests will figure it out (they called her mom). I personally would never want to offend my guests.

I havent decided yet but im leaning towards including them, simply because like you, my guests are spread out all over the place and i am not answering a million phone calls. Plus i am not having a bridal shower or engagement party or anything like that, so the wedding invitation is the only place i have to put it. Thats if we even register, im not entirely sure we are even going to do that.

No. Guests found out about registries long before stores stared handing out cards and suggesting that it's okay to put them in invites. Of course the stores want you to think this is okay; it benefits them.

It's not okay.

Thank you. I had no idea this practice was so frowned upon. I've gotten those inserts several times in other's invites and thought nothing of it. I thought that was how modern invites were done. Didn't realize old-school wedding etiquette was so firmly still in place. That was an eye-opener.

No, no, dear God no.

Also, to Karla - a wedding is not a license to do whatever you want. You are inviting friends and relatives to a party you are hosting (or perhaps your parents are hosting). They are your GUESTS and deserve to be treated as such. That means you should take their thoughts and feelings into consideration when possible.

This isn't about old-school wedding etiquette. This is about making sure your guests feel like they are honored and you desire their company, not their gifts.

I did an information sheet to include directions to the venue, where we were registered, and the wedding website. Is that tacky?

I hate the word tacky.

There is nothing wrong with an information sheet with directions and the wedding website. While some people may find the registry information helpful, many will be offended. I always error on the side of not alienating my loved ones. Put the registry info on your website, not on the information sheet.
