Is it considered uncouth to attach a registry list to your wedding invitations?

Public Comments

1. yes
2. It's considered bad ettiquette
3. Attach it? Inserting it into the envelope...NO. There's nothing wrong with it. It seems as if it's almost normal. People want to know where your registered without having to call someone and ask or go look on wedding websites for it.:)
4. Oh, my gosh, you can't do that!! I would be sooo offended if someone did that to me!!
5. yes and tacky and not appropriate at all; after all, you aren't inviting people to the wedding so you get presents, RIGHT?, you are inviting them to join you and your soon to be husband and your parents in the happiness of the day.......
6. Yes. You're supposed to pretend that you aren't expecting any presents. If you tell people what kind of gift you'd like, it's like telling them they HAVE to bring a gift, like charging them an admission price. Polite hosts give people parties because they want to treat them to good food and fun, not to shake them down for gifts.
7. Traditionally, yes. People are supposed to get registry information by word of mouth. Strong etiquette opponents of this practice say that it seems like you are soliciting gifts in exchange for the invitation to the event. I know that today's rules are more relaxed, and providing registry information more readily is more practical with today's lifestyles and people not necessarily living close to one another. Also, it allows the couple to get things they actually need. I'm torn with it, I do not think I will include one when that time comes for me.
8. It is unequivocally and absolutely impolite to mention gifts in any way, shape, or form on or in an invitation. Yes. Anyone who wishes to know where you are registered will ask.
9. It is not appropriate. However, you want want to insert a card that lists the store the couple is registered at.
10. Very very very bad idea. Never ever put a registry list in an invitation. I think that is one of the worst things regarding wedding etiquette there is! I believe in bending some etiquette but this by far is one of the worst. Do not do it! My sister showed me a wedding invitation last year of her friend's and when I opened it her registry was sitting right there on top. That was the first thing mentioned to her everytime she showed someone. How tacky is that?!!! Yes it is uncouth, do not do it!
11. Sure is.It looks like you are only inviting them for the gift.
12. It is considered "rude" because you are asking for a gift. Well we threw "propriety" to the wind and included little card that had our names and registry number on it (bed bath and beyond provided them free of cost). The result was most gifts were from our registry and things we actually wanted/needed. Also our relatives really loved how easy it was to find what we really wanted. So I say just do it!
13. it is not proper etiquette. don't worry, your guests will ask you and parents etc and just make sure you and your parents tell people 'we/ they are registered at .......' and people will know.
14. You could always attach your wedding website that has additional details about the ceremony and on the website have things like a map and registry information! theknot.com has free, easy websites for you to use for your wedding! That way you don't look cheap!
15. Yes, it is.
16. Those lists are to be used for the shower, never for a wedding . Put yourself in their place. I once got a wedding invitation that said monetary gifts only, sent back invitation as a no show. Happy bride and groom day.
17. TERRIBLY TACKY. Even including the card is pretty tacky.
18. I would not recommend doing that.
19. Yes, it is considered rude to ask people for gifts at a party you are throwing for yourself.
20. Yes, Yes, Yes!
21. Yes.
