            Etiquette for Gift Requests

            Should my registry be listed on my invitations? Traditional etiquette dictates that registry information should be spread by word of mouth only. While this is a good sentiment, in modern times it is just not practical. It has since become acceptable to include this information on your baby or bridal shower invitations or even your wedding website. However, registry or gift information should NEVER be listed on a wedding invitation, under any circumstances.
            Quick Tip – How to ask for cash
            It is in poor taste to request specific gifts from a guest (i.e. cash, checks, gift cards, etc.). If this is your preference you should not include any information about gifts or registry on your invitation and have your family/attendees spread your gift requests by word of mouth only.

            Quick Tip – How to say 'no gifts'
            The best way to ask for no gifts is to put "no gifts, please" in a small font in the bottom corner of your invitation. You can also state this by writing "please make the gift of your presence your only gift to us" or "your presence is your present".
