wedding list question....?

Im doing my wedding gift list and just want to know how you usually give them out... do you put them in with invitations? and is it actually called a wedding list? also, what sort of items to you ask for... anything? I know its only just to give people an idea if what to buy you but it seems cheeky.

1. It's not tasteful to put your registry in your invitation. Usually people will ask either you or your mom, sister, etc if you are registered, and if so, where? Don't worry, either way, most stuff from the registry never gets purchased anyway. It turns out to be a big waste of time.
2. Its called a registry, and you usually just put a card in with the invitation saying where you are registered! You register for anything that you need, things for the kitchen, bath, whatever. It all the stuff that you need, but don't really want to buy for yourself! You can also register for furniture, DVD's and other electronics!
3. Don't do this - it's tacky and rude and extremely low class. People come to a wedding to celebrate with you - and bring a gift to help you get started in your married life. If they need help choosing, they can always contact your family members.
4. wait for friends and family to ask if you have a wedding registry, and then you can give the details out - it's not polite to send them out with invitations. Put on the lsit anything you need for your new home together - try to get a mix of inexpensive things on there for those who can't afford to spend a lot.
5. I don't know why people are so uptight about this issue. Who cares if you put them in with the invitation? And who goes to a wedding without a gift anyway? I personally am not offended by receiving an invitation with the list of places where the couple is registered... it helps me out.
6. Most guests will want to buy you something and if you give them some guidance they will probably be happier knowing that they are buying you something that you actually want. Most gift lists offer a card to be included in with the invitation - you could always add a note to say that you don't expect a present and it is your guests presence that is the important thing.
