Re: Include Registry Cards in Shower Invites?

i thought that was basically the norm
how would people know where to buy your gifts? (word of mouth may not make it to everyone)

Re: Include Registry Cards in Shower Invites?

Not cheesy at all. This is standard practice and the only acceptable time to include any registry cards. It NOT acceptable to put them in invites for e-parties or weddings - only showers.

Re: Include Registry Cards in Shower Invites?

Re: Include Registry Cards in Shower Invites?

Yes yes yes-- and also if you have wedding website you can put that on the invite as well- they usually have a link to your registry

Re: Include Registry Cards in Shower Invites?

Definitely include them...if you feel uncomfortable, then at least include a quick note at the bottom of the invite of where you are registered. I received an invite that was printed at home and the person included "so and so is registered at M**y's...
(this would be perfect for invites you print yourself)

Re: Include Registry Cards in Shower Invites?

The invites that were sent out for mine had it included on the invitation itself. On the bottom of the invite it read "the happy couple is registered at....." It reduced the clutter that is usually sent with invitations.

Re: Include Registry Cards in Shower Invites?

My MOH added a clear label to the inside of the invites rather than putting in a card. It had the full registry info (number, names it was under, website info, etc.)

I thought it looked a little cleaner and easier to use than an additional card.

Re: Include Registry Cards in Shower Invites?

I personally think it is somewhat tacky...I expect people to hear via word of mouth where we are registered...hate to be the one person who disagrees, I am just being honest.
