The wedding registry poses the problem of ensuring guests know where to find the registry list without being rude. One rule is steadfast, to never include it on your wedding invitation. To do so is a complete faux pas. However, what is acceptable is to list your wedding website on an insert providing other necessary information, and include it in the invitation.

The following are suggestions for ensuring guests know where to find your wedding registry.

1. Word of mouth is still the best way to inform guests of where to find your registry. Your best messengers are your parents, his parents, members of the wedding party, close friends, and family members.

2. An online registry offers the convenience of adding and deleting items at any time, and allows you to view the items guests have selected.

3. Some brides have personalized cards printed with the lucky couple’s name, driving directions to the ceremony, and the online wedding registry address, or a location such as a retail outlet. These can be given to invited guests in person if you will see them prior to the wedding. An alternative is to include an insert with the wedding invitation. Include driving directions, local hotel information for those arriving from out of town, weekend activities, and links to your wedding registry.

Tips for a Registry

1. Offer a wide range of gift types with varying price ranges, and include a larger number of lower and moderate cost items. Those who are on limited incomes will be able to buy what they can afford and you will receive items often overlooked that you can use.

2. Have the registry ready at least a month before your scheduled ceremony in our outdoor wedding venues in Dallas, the best advice is to have it complete when the invitations go out.

3. Do not list only high cost items, as not all guests can afford to be generous. Balance these with a greater number of moderately priced and low cost gift items. You can suggest that guests may go in together with high-cost items, or set up a fund for donations on an item, but it is not appropriate to request money. In addition, list items from walk in retail stores for those who prefer to shop in person, rather than online.

4. Requesting donations to your favorite charity are an acceptable alternative to listing gifts on a wedding registry, and is a charitable way to start a married life together.
