Reply #31: Well.....technically speaking

Etiquette says that you don't volunteer where you're registered with the exception of "showers." The host(ess) of the shower is usually not a member of the family, and can state in the invitation where the bride and groom are registered.

Wedding invitations aren't supposed to have that stuff - it's like asking for a gift. When people actually followed rules of etiquette, relatives of the bride and groom got lots of phone calls from folks asking where the couple was registered.

However, there's a little way of getting around that. Set up your own website describing your relationship, maybe include a couple of pics for those folks who haven't met your signifcant other, give some info about the wedding, maybe the wedding venue, blah, blah, blah, and you can include info on where you're registered. Point people to the website.

Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy. I didn't make this stuff up. Just relaying the info. Don't shoot the messenger, please.

And good luck on your continued happy life together!
