Baby Shower Wishes Wording

wedding registry question?

we are registering at target. when you set up your registry there, they give you a bag of stuff which includes inserts that say we are registered at target. are these appropriate to put in the envelope with the invitations? i’ve searched on here about it, and it looks like most people say the right way to let people know about where your registered is by word of mouth. but i know when i go to a birthday party, or wedding, or Baby Shower, i HATE when theres no registry or wish list! it makes it so much easier to know ahead of time what i’m going to get. go in to the store, get it and go…thats the way i feel about it though. what do the rest of you think?
we aren’t have a shower….

Looks like this is gonna be a toughie for you, and not matter which you choose you’re not going to please everyone.

I did not put cards in the invitations; tradition and etiquette suggests that it’s rude. However, I think this tradition is currently changing and will be replaced by the idea that it’s okay to put them in. Here’s why: people nowadays are on the go. We don’t necessarily see each other on a regular basis and don’t always have the time for “word of mouth” that has been expected in the past. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, I’m just saying it’s a reality. When I didn’t place cards in the invites, I actually got a great deal of grief because people were busy and had to spend time trying to figure out where I was registered. In that aspect, I was thought of as a little bit inconsiderate of their busy schedules and their time. When I reminded them of “etiquette”, people didn’t really care about that aspect of it. The general response was “everyone knows you bring gifts to a wedding, what’s the point in beating around the bush”.
P.S. Regardless of your decision, don’t forget to register for gifts in all price ranges. Those $10 gifts are as lovely as the $100 gifts. : )
