When is too early to share your registry with guests?????

I wouldn't necessarily announce that your registry is open. When you send out your save the dates, you can provide your wedding website. If your registry is on your website, I'm sure they'll look OR you can provide a separate card and let them know where you're registered. I wouldn't do it any earlier than when you send out your save the dates which would typically be 7-9 months out.

We put our registry info on our website, and put the link to our website on our save the dates and with our invitations. People either found it on their own or asked our families where we were registered, we didn't actually have to mention it to anyone.

You don’t announce that it is open. You can place the link to your wedding website, which can have your registry linked, on your save the dates. Or just state the stores you’re registered at on your wedding website.

I agree with everyone else about not announcing it is open. Also, people don't need months of advance notice to buy a gift. When planning to go to a wedding in the future, most people will budget some amount for a gift and then buy it (or write the check) a short amount of time before the wedding date.

You should literally never announce that your registry is “open.”

Agree with the above.

We sent our save the dates out in February and included our wedding website link on them, which had registry information.

When we sent out invites, the wedding website link was included again.

Due to everything currently going on, we did not have a shower, but that aside, in general people won't be buying gifts until much closer to your wedding.

Registry information should go on the wedding website and can go on shower invitations if the host chooses. Otherwise, it spreads by word of mouth from those close to you. For instance, your mother can share with her relatives that you’re registered at a particular store if they ask. Usually, registry gifts are purchased for the shower, though.

I don’t have a registry and no plans to get one but I thought registries were supposed to be listed on the save the dates? If you really want to start talking about it though I would say do it by word of mouth amongst the families
