I am wondering....I know you can put the paper squares for your registries in the Bridal Shower invitations but it is unproper to put them in the wedding invitations of guests that didn't recieve them previously?

You are right, it is unproper.
Guests will find out a number of different ways. They will call your parents, they will search registries of standard stores (think macys, target). Technically, it is the responsibility of the bridal party to spread the word, so make sure your bridesmaids know for when people ask them.
The reason it is unproper to place the registry information in the formal invitation is because it equates the gift with the guest, and you never want you guest to feel like a gift.

You shouldn't put any gift registry information in with your wedding invitations, it's considered rude and tacky. Instead, let this information be spread via word of mouth, from your mothers, wedding party, close friends and family. People will call someone who is close to you, and ask where you are registered if they want to know. If you've registered at obvious stores (Target being one), sometimes if I'm shopping for a wedding gift, I'll just check to see if the couple is registered, if I'm at Target or Bed, Bath and Beyond, very frequently they are.
It's appropriate to put this information in shower invites though, because the entire purpose of a shower is to "shower" the bride with gifts.

You should never mention anything about gifts ever. The proper way to do it is to have your wedding party and family members know where you are registered so they can tell people who ask. The reason that showers are allowed to have the registry information is because the showers are thrown by someone other than the bridge and groom.

No not appropriate at all.
The theory is this
A shower is a party that someone is throwing for you, thus you have no control over what is done and its not considered tacky to include gift information for another person.
A wedding is a party that by all accounts you are throwing for yourself, so its not appropriate to solicite gifts on your own behalf.
Leave it out and as people begin rsvping they will ask around and find out, just be sure stratigical people know like your mom and future MIL, bridesmaids, sisters etc and they can spread the word by mouth.

It is tacky to put your "registries" in the formal invitations. Just send out a little FYI for all your guests thanking them in advance for attending your wedding and just slip in where you are registered at.

It's not a bad idea, especially for those who may not attend and still want to send something.

You do not include info. for registry in ANY invitation. That is just not done.

No, you don't put them in there. They will either ask your family or just give you cash.

Perfectly proper and sensible; you don't need duplicates and things you won't use!

I wouldn't. Just let them get what they want for you or cash.
