Can I add a Gift Registry Card to my Wedding Invitations?

It is never okay to add a gift registry card to your wedding invitation suite.

According to Peggy Post, wedding invitation etiquette: registry and gift giving information is spread by word of mouth or can be given by inserting into a shower invitation. This information should NEVER grace the wedding invitation. This puts to much emphasis on the gift and not the guest attending which is the most important part of your inviting and hoping the guest can actually attend. Inserting such information can be a turn off for your friends and family. Gifts are the guests choice.

Adding a gift registry card in with or on your bridal shower invitation, that is a different story. The person giving the party is allowed to give their guests gift ideas FOR YOU! Parents, grandparents, aunts and bridesmaids can verbally tell the guests gift ideas when asked.

Growing in popularity among brides and grooms is the creation of a wedding web site. This would be an acceptable place to provide a link to your Registry.
