I live out of state from all of my family, so i made a registry online and emailed it to family and friends. Since you are not going to have a baby shower, i don't see anything wrong with emailing the registry. For me, i registered at Walmart and they had an option to print out the registry and send it out in cards, or for the people who wanted to purchase something, they could print it out and take it to the local store with them. I think emailing the registry is just fine when not having a shower. Good luck!

If you're not having a shower I really dont know what would be proper. I would tell close family and close friends... But without the shower its just like you're asking for gifts without the reward of a social event.
Maybe you could wait until the baby is born, and send out card with the registry info in the announcement. Its a little late, but you get so many gifts after the baby is born, it would help clue people in on what you really need.

You need to have a baby shower then. No offense sweetie but it is definitely not proper etiquette to just let people know where you are registered if your not having a shower. If you don't want a shower than don't register anywhere. If you do want a shower, then the place(s) you register at will give you little cards that you put in the invitations. Talk to a friend or family member about throwing you a baby shower. That is really the only way to politely "ask" for what you need. And don't forget to mail out thankyou cards. Good luck, and CONGRATS!!!

Maybe you could find a small card, or make some, that just says ' We're expecting a little Angel' with the information on you and the babies due date, etc. Then you could put the registry info at the bottom. You could also do something similar on line too. That way all the bases are covered.

Next time someone asks you how your pregnancy is going, just mention, oh and I finally created a baby registry at Babies R Us. Tell a few people and they will spread the word.

I dont see a problem with it. I posted it on my "friends and family blog" and I didnt get any people saying thats rude.
Just make it short and simple "Many people have been asking if I am doing a registry. Here is the information if you would like it."

Hon why dont you talk to a friend and see if she will have a shower? Thats perfectly acceptable for you to ask for her help. Or your Mom or sister can do so. Then in the invitations put in a sheet of paper with a list of where you registered.

Ift should go in the baby shower invitation. Tell whoever may give you a shower. You will need one.
If you aren't having one, don't register it is tacky.

No, you wait until someone asks you. If someone is throwing you a shower, they will most likely ask you.

First of all the baby registry is a popular trend ..Tradition is you take what is offered to you at the shower , as a gift ..not pick a store ,and what you want for the baby ..... Your needs for the child is YOUR responsibility no one Else's ..so do not think that is proper etiquette for you to pick what you want others buy you for your child .... Personally I find that dis-respectable for someone to pick and choose their own gifts from the store they have chosen , gifts for the baby should be at the digression of the giver not the receiver .... to me the registry shows you to be self centered , and greedy ......
