It is done all the time, but it is tacky, someone that is related to or a good friend of the bride should give registry information seperate from the invitations...and don't forget to write thank you cards!!

Technically your not supposed to put the registry info on invites. It should be spread by word of mouth. (Putting it on invitations seems greedy) However if the shower is being held by a bridesmaid, or friend (and not family member) then it is more commonly accepted to put the small insert cards that stores give you. However, if you feel you do not want to put this info in the invite, it can always be spread by word of mouth. You could always let people know when they R.S.V.P if they ask. Also, most people can check a few popular stores and plug in the couples name to see if they have a registry there. Basically, if people want to buy gifts from the registry they will figure out where the couple is registered somehow.

People do it but it's really not acceptable by ettiqute standards. The only reason why this even squeaks by is because technically a shower is not thrown by the couple themselves.
The companies give you those cards because they want sales and they know people are ignorant of proper ettiqute. What you SHOULD be doing with those cards is handing them out to close people like the bridal party and your parents. Then when someone ASKS what to get you they can say they are registered at X store and by the way here is a handy-dandy card they gave us.
People aren't stupid. If they want to get you a gift they will either ask somebody close to you where you are registered or just check the major stores like Target using your name.

Technically speaking it isn't "appropriate" to put registry info into anything. That is best spread word of mouth only. However, in this day and age many things that would have been considered bad etiquette then are accepted now. Shower invites are now frequently the "accepted" place to put in the registry card.
Good Luck.

Registry information is usually included on a separate card with the shower invitation. Since someone else should be throwing the shower, it is perfectly acceptable.
Just don't include them with the wedding invitations.

Yes it is appropriate to put registry cards in the BRIDAL SHOWER invite (its not appropriate to put them in the wedding invitations though), as a shower is where you "shower" the guests of honor with gifts.

I have ALWAYS gotten that information in ALL bridal shower invitations! If you don't send that, what is the purpose of registering? Many people don't have the time to get that info by word of mouth...YES...PUT IT IN THERE!

When I planned my cousin's wedding shower, we included the information as to where she was registered on the invitation itself. I know that it might seem a little crass but in today's busy world, people really appreciate the extra help picking with picking out the gift.

It is never ever appropriate to include registry info in any invitation. The information should be disseminated by word of mouth. The company is money grubbing and that's why they provide the cards.
