Include or not include?

[septbutterflies]

I am sending out invitations for our wedding at the end of this month. We are registered at Target. When we registered, they have us little slips that say we are registered there to include in our invitations. I just read on Pinterest that you are never to include registry info in your invitations.

So do I or don't I?

Thanks!

Traditionally, the rule is no registry information in wedding invitations, but it is acceptable to put it into shower invitations.

This -- they can go in shower invites, but they cannot go in wedding invites. You can either trust word of mouth to get the info out or put it on our wedding website.

Thank U! :)

Use them for your bridal shower if you are having one. If not use them in your recycling bin. Will you have some sort of insert with extra information on it? We had a card that included information about the hotel where we had reserved a block of rooms and directions to the ceremony from the hotel. That card also had info for our wedding website and the registry info was on that site, not anywhere in the invitation.

In my part of Australia we don't really tend to do wedding showers and so if you don't put the info in the invitation, everyone ends up contacting you anyway to ask what you want for a present, which I think is much more awkward! Though traditional etiquette says don't do it, I think including the info on a separate slip packed in with the invite is more convenient for guests. It also avoids having it printed directly on the invite, which I like as it means there is some separation of the two.

I was under the impression the registry info should not be on any of the 'official' invites (invitation, RSVP card, menu cards, etc) but a separate slip of paper is fine, as long at the slip's motif doesn't match the invitation's motif.

I think it's been pretty well answered already (don't do it) but I wanted to say that if you have a wedding website, that's a really good place to put the information. I know a lot of our older guests never visited our website, but many of our younger guests followed the link from our site to our registry, ordered the gift, and had it sent straight to our house. As a guest, I appreciate the ability to do that.
