Gift Registry
Registering for wedding gifts is probably the best idea any person has ever come up with. Almost every national chain has put together a gift register. Out of state family and friends can purchase on line or at one of their locations. Most locations will ship, gift cards are also available. Here is a list of some of the local business that offer gift registery.
Bed Bath and Beyond
Dillards
Pier 1
JCPenney
Kohls
Meier and Frank
Super Target
Wal-Mart
Sears
Sportsmans Warehouse
One of my brides this year works at a local credit union and opened up a gift account for her and her fiancee. Family and friends can go into her bank and make a deposit into their account for a wedding gift. This does make monetary gift giving easier and safer, but is it rude or very acceptable? Some families do not think including gift register cards in the invitation should be done either. Last year one of my brides set up a layaway at a local store ( I did not even know they still had layaway) for friends and family to make payments towards her items of choice. So what do all of you think? What is rude and what is acceptable, or is it just different for each family?

Here's why its rude to include a registry note in your invitation. An invitation is just that, you are inviting guests to celebrate with you. By including where you are registered you are saying to the lucky guest, "you are expected to bring a gift and it has to come from this place." You take away the feeling of I love you and want to share this special day with you into Bring Me Stuff. If someone wants to know where your registered they can ask anyone in the wedding party (your mom - the friend who is throwing your shower, etc.)
