A small card can typically be included in the RSVP return card to list the places one is registered.

I think it's best to simply tell your parents, as well as your bridal party where you'll be registered at. Most likely, your parents or bridal party will have some type of connection to the guests you plan on inviting to the wedding. So, if they have a question about your registry, they can simply as them. I wouldn't include it at all with the wedding invitation. This implies that you're more interested in them giving you a gift than actually having them spend that special day with you. Good luck!

Please don't include it in the invitation. I couldn't believe when I read that from posters. It is outrageously tasteless.
The reason it is acceptable in the shower invites is b/c you aren't throwing your own shower. Usually a family member (my aunts threw mine--both aunts on my side had a joint one and both aunts on his side threw a joint one) is making the invites so it is perfectly acceptable for THEM to tell people where you are registered.
If someone calls and asks, you can tell them and it is always polite for the bridal party to inform others of where you are registered. However you should always register at multiple places. I know when I get invited to a wedding (but not the shower) I always check the top5--a department store like Hechts, BedBath and Beyond, Target, Pier 1, and Crate and Barrel/or William Sonoma if they are the cooking type.
If I can't find them at either of those, I call someone. My grandmother always goes to Belk first, then the other department stores. Thats the only places she thinks to check (and many people in the older generation think like that).
Regardless you can't use your wedding invite to blatently ask for gifts. Etiquette experts all agree on that. They debate if it is acceptable to include your wedding website. If the website includes directions, maps, things to do in the area, as well as just your registry it seems fine to me--but not if your website is just a link to your registries.

If you create a wedding registry, you can print out cards to insert in the invitation which tell your guests exactly where you are registered. If you would like money or help with the honeymoon, this method is perfect for you. Visit this site for more info:

You should go and do your registries then you would tell your friends. Some people will just ask you and then you can inform them, or they will ask your friends. It is acceptable to put a registry card provided by the place you register in your bridal shower invites - it however IS NOT acceptable to make any mention of this with the wedding invitations. This includes writing registry information on the invite or including it in the invite.

Usually, you are able to put a small notice in the invitation that says "the couple is registered at _____." You receive these notices when you register at the stores (i.e. Target, Dillard's, where ever). Your registry will be filled with things that YOU and your partner want. It is a full list of the things you'd like to have. If by this time you've already sent out your invites to the wedding, I think you are going to have to be glad with what the people got you or ask for gift receipts.

The only way you should inform your guest is via word of mouth. Tell the people who are close to you, and they'll spread the word. Some people will also ask you themselves. Getting married in 10 days..

have tiny little cards made (with the stores that you are registered and what name you are registered as) to go in the envelope with your bridal shower invite or your wedding announcement.
this is what my brother and cousin did this year and it worked out really good.

You don't. Be grateful for whatever your guests choose for you. Surprise! They are not "required" to get you a gift!

Word of mouth or post it on your bridal website are the only appropriate choices.
