My friend and I are sending out my baby shower invitations and I want to know if it is rude to put where I am registered in the invitation? Should I wait till they call to RSVP to tell them? Need advice please. Thank you.

It is fine to tell people where you are registered. Alot of baby shower invitations have a line where you can write where you are registered. They dont have to bring a gift, but it is nice for the people who are wondering what to get you!

For my shower with my first pregnancy I was worried about it too so we left it off the invite. Come the time of the shower, I got a lot of things that I didn't need and a couple people said that they assumed I hadn't registered anywhere since it wasn't on the invite. A couple years later I was co-hosting a shower for a friend...we again wondered what to do, but figured with my experience it was not a good way to go. It's better to get things that you'll actually use and need. Plus, I don't think anyone actually plans to attend a shower without bringing a gift of some sort! Congrats on the baby and enjoy the shower!

Perfectly okay to tell where you are registered in the invitation. Every shower I have ever been to did it that way. Some people will forget to RSVP, but they will still come!

Some places give you registry cards to place with the invitation. So no, it is not rude to put where you are registered. Actually being registered makes it easier on yoiur attendees. They don't have to figure out what to get you and get what you want/need instead of something you may not use.

Absolutely you should wait. People are going to buy you what they want to anyway. More than likely, those who want to know if you are registered somewhere will call one of your friends to find out. It is never appropriate to include that information in an invite, unless you want to appear greedy.
I know many people think that it is now acceptable, but it's not. I know a couple of ladies who have made the mistake of doing that for weddings, and the gossip about it is NOT pretty.

I think that it is okay to include this info because even if they cannot make the shower, they may want to send a gift. Also as a person who has attended and hosted several showers... it is better for guests to know what you want and need rather than show up with a gift they are unsure that you would like or need. Good luck!

Traditionally, it was in poor taste to put it on there. When the invitees contacted you to RSVP, they were supposed to ask you then where you were registered. But since no one is traditional about such things anymore, I would put it on there - you know most people never RSVP these days, but they still usually show up.

It's tacky to put it directly on the invite, but I know Babies R Us gives a little business-sized card to put into invitations about the registry.
You could always print your own on blank business cards to stick in the invitation envelopes...

Definitely put down where you are registered at. Some people like to stick to registry's and this will ensure that you get the stuff you want/need!

no, put it on there that's what u r supposed to do. most people don't even rsvp and it would stop you from having to take back stuff you don't want and it stops people from having to guess because there is nothing worse than getting stuff you don't like or don't want. i had a babyshower in june. email me for game ideas and whatever else.
