You've visited your favorite store, and used the scan guns to zap your wish list items, gone online to register at all your favorite stores, and have lengthy lists of gifts you're ready to welcome into your home. Now, how do you let your guests know where to find the perfect wedding gift? Many families are tempted to include registry information with the invitation, but this is absolutely not acceptable. You are inviting these guests to witness and share in your wedding ceremony and celebration -- gifts aren't even to be expected (although always great to receive!). The best way to spread the registry news is through good old word-of-mouth -- friends, family members and other wedding party members usually end up knowing and talking to other guests, and the chain of information spreads quickly. It is also acceptable to send registry information with the bridal shower invitations. After all, the intent and purpose of the event is to "shower" the bride with gifts that will help her in her new home and relationship. So, make sure your bridesmaids know where you are registered, and let them handle some of the responsibility!
