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, you weren't supposed to add registry information in invitations.

In practice, I find it very helpful when a couple does include the little slips. Not everyone is invited to the shower, and shower gifts are often a bit different than wedding gifts (especially if you're doing a traditional bridal shower). I think it was "tacky" in the old days when everyone lived in the same town and your mom and aunts could just spread the word about what you wanted, but time marches on and I think it's more helpful than rude these days.

One couple who's wedding I went to recently I don't remember if it was in their invitations but I know it was on their website. It was nice because I didn't want to call them up and be like "where are you registered?" but let's be real, your wedding guests want to buy you a gift. I hate that we all like to pretend that's not the case.

This. We put it on our website. And the website URL was in the invites. So they could find it if they went looking! But we had a lot of other stuff on the site, it wasn't just a funnel to registry info.
