How to spread the word about your wedding registry without being tacky.

You probably know by now that the mention of gifts, including ‘no gifts please,’ on the wedding invitation is an etiquette no-no. So how do you get the word out while you are busy planning your perfect wedding?

  • Word of mouth. Make sure your parents and members of the wedding party know where you are registered. Guests following correct etiquette will know to contact them for your wedding registry information. Send them all a short e-mail “if anyone asks where we are registered, please direct them to…” And need we say it? Don’t ask them to pump guests for cash gifts.
  • Provide wedding gift registry information to your shower hosts. They may include it on a separate card within the invitation mailing.
  • List your registry choices on your wedding website. Most wedding website options allow you to create a gift registry page. Make sure this information is not on your home page by rather on a sub page or tab. Your wedding website is your chance to share your planning details, not to demand gifts.
  • We hope this etiquette information helps you with your wedding planning. Remember, a savvy bride is a classy bride!
