Do You Include Registry Information on a Wedding Invitation?

No you don't.  And you don't include a printed insert with the registry information in the envelope either.

So how will your guests know where to purchase a wedding gift from?  Either the information will be posted on your wedding website or they'll ask you or your parents or other friends/relatives who are going to the wedding.

Don't worry, the information will get out there.

A girl at the office called me the other day because she was invited to a wedding and couldn't make it.  She wanted to send the couple a gift but since the registry information wasn't included in the invitation suite she didn't know what to do.

I suggested just asking the couple or she could Google the couple's name and possibly find their wedding website or she could enter the bride's name into a few popular national stores and she'll most likely come across the couple's registry.

So she entered the bride's name into Bloomingdale's Bridal Registry website and the couple's registry popped up.

There's always a solution!

so would I put my wedding website on the invite?

We included an insert in our invitation that said "For information on accomodations and things to do in Hershey, please visit our website at xxxxx." Our website has our registry info on it, but it was not mentioned at all in the invitation or on that insert.

I don't have a problem with it, but I know a lot of people think it's tacky to include your registry info with the invite. I was able to avoid this speedbump because I created my wedding registry on MyRegistry.com. MyRegistry.com offers a free eCard service, so I created an eCard online with all of my info and e-mailed it. It's funny, after 2 of my girlfriends (who are also getting married in the next coming months) got my eCard, they told me that they wish they had known about MyRegistry.com because they would have made their wedding registries and eCards there too!
