We have a registry at a local retail store. I know that "traditionally" you dont say anything about this in an invitation. Its a very informal wedding and nothing is really tradtional about it as it is both my fiance and I's second marriage, so would it be ok for us to go ahead and include the registry details in the invites or have one of our parents send them out in a seperate mailing? Please help we are at a loss with this. Any advice would help, thanks!!!

Have your parents send it out, or have them handle the RSVP. When guests call, your parents can say "Oh, just to let you know, the bride and groom are registered at...."
Congratulations!

Usually second marriages don't have a registry, which I've never understood lol I'm all about free stuff.
Depending on the wedding invitations if they are from your parents like "the bride's parents invite you..." then include it in the invitation. If it's just your finace' and you then maybe spread the word through the family have his and your parents tell everyone where you are registered to keep it traditional. If you don't care about all that I'd include it save people the trouble of having to go and look around yanno?
Good Luck!

Hi. No, do not mention anything or do a separate mailing. This question has been asked lots and here is what I have said to the others. Your guests ARE smart enough. They will know the stores in your area where couples register. They can go to the store (or look online) to see if you have registered. It is NEVER proper to mention anything about registries in an invitation...it has nothing to do with the formality or informality of your wedding. Your guests WILL figure it out or will give you cash or gift cards.
I hope you have a beautiful wedding!

I think that whether or not its an informal or non-traditional wedding, its still not appropriate to include the registry on the invite. I don't even think that a second mailing is appropriate.
Either one of these scenarios would make me feel like I was getting shaken down for a gift.
The best way would be word of mouth.

No, no, no, no. You cannot send out notice of registry with your invitation especially since this is the second time around. Nor should your parents send out a "this is what to buy my child for their second wedding card". Spreading the info by word of mouth should suffice.

You neither include the information ON or IN with the invitations, or mail information at all.
If people are stuck on what to choose for a gift, they would contact the family.
I've never actually seen someone type out "I's" - !!! so funny
Have someone triple check the grammar on your wedding invitations!

I used to think it was really improper - but then got a classy "save the date" card saying when the wedding was, etc... and on it to check out their wedding website - which was just a site they made through their registry - so when you went on it - you were led right there.
simple, easy and actually classy. I wish I had done it for my wedding.

First of all, Congratulations! I also just got engaged, although we haven't registered anywhere yet. I would just spread the word...somebody will eventually ask one of your parents or someone close what you need and they can tell them you registered at such and such a place, and the word should spread from there. I personally don't think I would bring up being registered unless someone asked about what we needed. Hope this helped!

No, it's never okay. Your parents and bridal party will spread the word about where you are registered. If people want to know, they will ask. Even though it's an informal wedding it's still not okay to say "please go to XYZ store to buy us stuff"- and that's what you'd be doing.
