Wedding registry

Montana, on May 8, 2020 at 9:52 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9
If I can’t have a wedding shower or any type of shower is it rude to put my registry info in my invitations? Not on the invite itself but on a separate piece of paper in the envelope. The guests who are supposed to come are older and don’t really know how to navigate a wedding website. But I don’t want to seem greedy for adding it in.

    Yes, it's still rude. Older people know to ask the couple or the family where they're registered. People got by without wedding websites for hundreds of years.

    If you do decide to do a registry, I’m sure people will buy these items as part of your wedding gift. So if you and your FH are okay with that instead of $, then yes it’s okay to include that in your invite!!😊 I would just include “We are registered at ______”

    I'm with Caytlyn on this one. I'd include a link to your wedding website on your details card and put registry information on there. Make sure your families know where you're registered so in case they get asked by your older guests, they can let them know.

    I had the same question and I asked a lot of my co-workers who are married and they said they added it to their invitations and guests didn't mind one bit. So no its not rude how else are the supposed to know where you are registered? I have gotten a few wedding invitations as well and never once thought anything about their wedding registry info. Hope this helps!

    Registry info is given by word of mouth only. People know to ask you and those closest who have the information (parents, attendants, etc)

    Yes, it absolutely is considered rude to put registry information in wedding invitations. Nothing about gifts at all should be mentioned in a wedding invitation - the guests are being invited to share your day with you and witness your ceremony, not give you presents. It's rude to indicate that you're expecting gifts. It's very easy to find registry information online, or people can ask you or your parents where you are registered. You can list a wedding website on an insert card if you have other things on the website other than just your registry information. Those are the polite things to do.

    You aren't supposed to do that and registries have been around since before they were online. Older people are better with technology than you'd think though. All of my grandparents/fiance's grandparents and even my late great grandparents can manage to navigate a wedding website or even find it through a search engine. But if they are really horrible with technology and wouldn't think to ask around and go to a store, I guess you could slip it in theirs specifically if you think it'd help them a lot. I'd just find it really weird if I got registry info on an invitation.
