Am I the only younger woman who thinks including registry information in with your wedding invite is rude?

| You know what, I agree, if they want to know where your registered they can talk to you or one of your bridesmaids about it, or your parents. |

| I think it is rude to expect gifts full stop, although most people are well-mannered and bring something, it is always rude to expect anything, the guests are there are your guests, not for the gifts. We chose not to register as we had lived together for almost 3 years and had everything we needed/wanted. All we wanted was for our guests to come celebrate with us. I do understand having a registry when people are starting out together, but I don't think it should be expected that people will buy everything you have listed there. |

| NO, you are not the only one. Putting where you are registered on you wedding invites is completly rude. Any website, theknot, brides.com, marthastewart, will all agree.. It is poor etiquitte and will always be poor ettiquite. Anyone who does it is tacky and seems greedy. It is only okay to spread the info by word of mouth and bridesmaids can put that info on bridal shower invites. |

| I guess it really just depends on the family. When my brother got married, they didn't include registry information with the invitations and a lot of the extended got a little worried and started calling my mother, asking what was wrong with my brother. My mom said they seemed to be a little offended about it, like my brother thought he was too good for their gifts or something. But Mom just explained that they just had not registered anywhere yet, but that she would get that information to them ASAP and everything was fine. So it really just depends on the family. But I can definitely see your point of view. |

| I agree with you. It's rude to assume people will give you gifts. We had a few people come to our wedding and not give us a gift and we were just so thrilled that they came to celebrate with us. In the end, I wrote everyone that came a thank you note, gift or no gift. Word of mouth works just fine for getting registry information out to people. Just make sure to tell your attendants where your registered. Also, people will ask where you're registered if your interested. |
