If I make a webpage on www.theknot.com for our wedding, can I put something in the invitation to let the guests know about our page, or would that be tacky or rude?

Totally cool and very convenient....as long as when you open up the page the first thing you see isn't a big banner to "check out where we registered!"
*registry information CAN be put on your wedding webpage but should be on the same page as your personal contact information and not with it's own link or thrown into the mix with the information provided for guests like close hotels, car rentals, attractions, etc.*

Wedding webpages are cute and people enjoy learning more about the couple. If everyone doesn't have regular computer access there's no way to get this information to them other than word of mouth (which is sketchy) and through an insert in the invite. As someone else mentioned don't print it ON the invitation but an insert would be fine.

Any requests for gifts, whether it be from your registry, or cash, should be handled by people close to the couple through word of mouth. It is considered EXTREMELY tacky and downright rude to put any request for any specific gift in the wedding invitation, or any of the enclosures to the invite. The best way to handle this is have your parents, wedding party members, close family answer when they are inevitably asked what you would like that "Sarah and John would really appreciate cash, they are saving for a honeymoon to New York, and aren't really in need of household goods." However, guests are not obliged to give you something just because you asked for it. I would be prepared to not get enough in cash to cover your expenses for your honeymoon.

Alot of couples choose to do personalized webpages these days. I don't think it's rude at all. At the very end of the invitation, space down a way and put the typical line:
"Reception to follow at _______ (insert name). For more information, visit our webpage at www.theknot.com/_____(your page address)."

I'm also doing this, but the best place to put it is on the accommodations card. With the hotel information at the top, just list the URL at the bottom so they can visit for more information. Or if you won't have an accommodations card, put it on the card with the reception information (not the response card). Just don't put it on the formal invitation; that looks bad. Good luck!

I would say it's acceptable only if there's a lot of other info there besides your registry location. Try putting some pictures of you and your fiance out there, with a little blurb about both of you and how you met. Traditionally the registry is communicated one-on-one so if you don't have a lot of other info out there, be prepared for some of the older folks to take offense. Old traditions die hard sometimes. have fun with the wedding planning, it's a very exciting time!

Oftentimes people add this information, particularly if your site contains travel information, directions, maps, rsvp, etc. Although, you wouldn't add this to the invitation but rather on one of the insert cards or on a separate insert card. Possibly you could even add it to a Save the Date instead.
I've seen it on invitations, but only for very casual/informal weddings where there are no insert cards included.

I think a website is a wonderful idea, my friend did a custom site for her wedding and it was a great source for communication on hotels, the bridal party, directions and the registry. It's the best idea for a wedding, maybe you can post pics after the wedding too.

Sure!
I actually put an insert into our invites with our Knot page as well as accommodations and things to do near our wedding location.

As long as it's not printed on the invitation itself, it's fine. I would print up some business card-sized notes that say "Visit our webpage at: www.blahblahblah.com!"
