Including Gift Registry in a Wedding Invite

While planning for the wedding, couples often look baffled, whether to include certain information in the wedding invites or not. The issue here is about the gift registries. Some couples incorporate the gift registry information in the wedding invitation cards; while others take it as a poor etiquette practice.

Couples who include the gift registry in a wedding invite argue that the world today is very hasty and busy. No person has enough time to inquire about the stores where the duo has registered. What is more, people do not often want to fuss about buying a present out of their eventful to-do list. For that reason, providing them with the information that might be helpful for them is commendable. Gift registry information will hoard the time of your valuable guests.

It is not a good etiquette to include a gift registry in a wedding invite. When your guests receive your invitation cards, they should not appear up with the notion that you are expecting gifts as well. It gives the impression as if you are demanding for gifts and this is the only reason you are welcoming them, which gives a contemptible and greedy stance of yours. Addition of gift registry will spoil the beautiful outlook of your cards. The invite should be about honoring the wedding day, and not the gifts.

Ones who bicker about the business of life should also consider that guests go around madly looking for the stores where the couples have registered, slaughtering up their costly time. Couples should also keep this in mind that this is a wedding invitation, not a gift request. A wedding invite is meant to expect someone's presence and not expecting gift. Including a gift registry in an invite shows your discourtesy. We do love taking gifts but demanding one is rudeness.

To notify the guests about the places where the wedding pair has registered in any way, the informing mean should be apt and not violating the wedding etiquette. The best way is to tell your close acquaintances and relations. They will spread the word out or the guests, themselves, will ask them about the gift registry if any or they will give you cash. Another way is to create a wedding website where you can provide additional information regarding your wedding. Couples often include a map on the wedding invitation cards to the venue of the wedding for guests' ease. Using a separate direction card would not ruin the fancy invitations. Add logos of stores, where you have been registered, on the bottom of the map.
