Is it proper to put in a wedding invvitation that you would like gift cards to a special store?

Answer 1

Why not just register at that store for the things that you want and people can buy you gifts. Those who dont buy you gifts would generally give you a gift card to the store that you registered at or cash.

Answer 2

No. It is never, ever proper to put any type of information about gifts or gift registries in an invitation. Even when they given you the little cards at the stores you register at, throw. them. out. That information should be passed by word of mouth or wedding websites.

When you include registry or gifting information in an invitation, it becomes about the presents and not the presence....

Answer 3

No, unfortunately you cant ask for gifts for your wedding. The only gift asking that is approprate in this day and age is a gift regsitry and yor hostess can only tell people invited to your shower about the registry.

If I were you I would tell a few key people, like your moms, and your maid of honor that you are doing a project and you would love gift cards to Home Depot(or wherever) and have them spread it by word of mouth.

Unfortunately though, no, there is no polite way to do this. And I promise, people will be offended by it.

Answer 4

No, you should not include wording requesting specific gifts. The purpose of your invitations should be to request the presence of your guests at your special day, not a request for gifts. I would suggest letting your parents and wedding party members know what your request is so they can inform others as they are asked. Also, you can notify your guests of your preference by placing gift cards on your registry at your preferred store.

Answer 5

I'm sorry but, No.

But it is never good form to include any gift information on your wedding invitation. You may include registry information as part of the bridal shower. However, it is customary for people to give "gifts" at a shower. No one wants to sit around and watch a bride, bride/groom open up....another gift card. Dull dull dull.

Now - you could create a wedding web page and include a little slip of paper directing people to it for more information on the reception site, etc. in your invitation. Then have on that page with all your other informatioin that you PREFER gift cards. But you can't tell them out-right.

You can register for a few things that you want, or not register at all, which would encourage people to ask you at which point you could tell them in person what you want.

(so even if you register, don't include that information on your invitation).

Answer 6

No - you should never mention where you are registered on the invitation, and especially that you want gift cards.

There are ways to send subtle hints: register at some places, but don't put that much on your registry.

Use word of mouth to spread the gift card wish. Things can spread quickly through families/groups that way.

Answer 7

No, you should just register there and they usually give you note cards to include with the shower invatation to show where you registered. On that registry you can make a note...gift cards are welcomed. That is not something you include with wedding invitations.

Answer 8

No, it is not proper at all; it is tacky and rude. Guests to your wedding do not "have" to bring a gift; most do, however, because they want to help the new couple out. It is their choice what they wish to get you - remember it is not required. So back off...

Answer 9

if I'm not mistaken the registries are sent with the invitations to the bachelorette party. I think you can register for a gift card at whatever store you choose. if you are sure you want gifts from one particular store you can simply add the items you want to your registry. some stores like Target allow you to add things to your registry online which is very convenient.

Answer 10

No it isn't proper to beg for gifts.
