Registry etiquette

Estrella, on March 7, 2021 at 6:02 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
I am planning a very intimate wedding With immediate family and at the same time, I am also planning a baby shower for my sister. I briefly Mentioned to someone who is not invited to my wedding and not related to me, about simultaneously planning my sister's baby shower and also my wedding. Now this person has asked me via EMAIL to give them my registry information, I assume because they intend to buy me a gift.


Now I feel a bit obligated to extend an invitation to my wedding if they purchase a gift from my registry.. My Sis suggested not to share my registry information with this person. But I feel like it's rude if I don't respond tonher email. And I am also not sure what to say.... "thanks for wanting to buy me a gift but no thank you..." Are they just being kind and generous or fishing for invite?

    People understand they are not invited but they still want to celebrate your event and are happy for you. It's a normal emotion. Obligation invites should never be sent for any reason and this is a good example of why you don't send them. Let them know where you are registered and send a prompt thank you after. Don't invite them to the wedding unless you originally planned to.

    People who do fish for invites are very direct "We're waiting for the invite in the mail". If they don't say that, then they are genuinely kind and generous. It's not deeper than that.

    Just send the link. They asked for it, that doesn’t put you under any obligation to invite them.

    If she asked directly I think it's fine to send it. No need to follow up with an invitation.

    I agree with PP. This is the best scenario for sharing a registry: someone asked for it. Smiley smile
