Expert Advice from wedding guru, Sharon Naylor
Question:
Can I put a tasteful note about where we are registered in the wedding invitation?
Answer:
No, not in the wedding invitation. Etiquette rules remain firm on that. Registry info is allowed in bridal shower invitations, though.
Here's how to 'get around' this etiquette rule. You *are* allowed to add an insert to your wedding invitation packet, a pretty card that lets guests know the URL of your personal wedding website. Here's how you might word it:
We're looking forward to sharing our big day with you!

See you on [wedding date!]
You've provided a great resource for your guests who need to make travel plans, and when they see your registry links on your site, they get the message of where you're registered. Works perfectly! Oh, and be sure to include your WeddingMapper link -- guests LOVE using it, seeing the cool locations you point out [like where your first date was], the locations of all the Dunkin' Donuts in the area, and even satellite view of the area.
