what both my sister and i did for our invitations (our weddings were only 2 months apart!) was not to put a card SPECIFICALLY saying registry info, but with our wedding website on it. i simply made up my website on theknot.com which im sure you know gives you a free site, and then made up card to insert saying "to find out more about our wedding such as directions and hotel information, please visit our website at www....we look forward to sharing our special day with you!" i specifically avoided saying that the registry info was on the site too, but out of 120 guests invited, those cards i inserted have gotten 110 people (it gives you a counter) to view my page, and assuming that all of them looked at our registry links on there, the word sure did get out and i didnt have to worry about "offending" anyone who was a bit more old fashioned.

It is most common to put registry information in an invitation for a shower. This is because the shower is thrown by the family or bridesmaids, not the bride. It isn't tacky for someone else to let people know, but some people may consider it tacky to put it in the wedding invitation yourself. Of course I have seen many invitations with registry information typed up on a small slip of paper with other information about the reception included.

YES!!! This information is spread via word of mouth. People will ask your mother, his mother, wedding party members where you are registered, so let people spread the word that way. Also, if you register at the obvious stores (Target, Bed, Bath and Beyond, etc.) then lots of time people just check at the store to see if the couple they're shopping for has a registry, more often than not, they do.
You can have registry info listed on a wedding web site (if you have one) and you can also put it in invites to any showers. Just NOT on the wedding invite itself, or not with it.

Yes, it is extremely tacky...it make it seem that you are inviting them to buy you a gift and one of your choosing, at that. The correct way to let people know where you've registered is to make sure that all parents, siblings and members of the bridal party have that information...they can quietly and discretely spread the word to the invited guest and other interested parties. As to whether registry information belongs in the shower invitations, that's not something the bride has control over since, of course, no bride (or immediate family member) would ever throw her own shower.

I didn't put the cards in with my invitations (i forgot!!) but we had a website saying where we were registered and everything. But I have gotten invites to other peoples weddings and they had them in. I didn't think anything of it! I don't think its tacky at all. Most people do register for a wedding, so why not let people know where? If they don't like that idea then they don't have to buy you something from the registry....

Please DO NOT put your registry cards in your formal wedding invitations. You may put them in the bridal shower invitations. Many mothers and mother in laws will take some of the registry cards and give them to people as they see them before the ceremony. A person is not required to bring a wedding gift, they choose to, and by putting the cards in the invitations, it can make people feel as though they are only being invited for that reason. Hopes this helps.

Oh, yes, that's very tacky. Please don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, because they're flat out wrong. It is very bad ettiquette to include any gift information in the wedding invitation.
Let it spread by word of mouth where you're registered. Most people bring money or a check; the few who want to bring physical presents will have no problem calling your mom or whoever they are closest to, and asking where you're registered. Talk about it all you want, just don't put it in the invite.

TACKY! Start spreading the info by word of mouth, or if you have a wedding website.

It is usually not good etiquette to include your registry card. It is most appropriate to insert them into your shower invites and let it be known to your close relatives and friends so that they can give word of mouth. If you have a wedding website, include your registry on there as well. Congrats on your upcoming wedding.
