While researching registry cards, I became enlightened to the fact that it is generally considered bad form to include any form of registry mention in your invitation envelopes. Etiquette suggests that registries should be informed by word of mouth, or through the invitations to the bridal shower that someone else holds. I would say that about 80% of what I've read online says not to, don't do it, it's never right, etc etc etc. 15% says to go ahead, it's efficient and their guests actually were happy that the information was included in the envelope. The rest says it's up to the bride and groom, and that times are changing. I'm more inclined toward the latter 20% of the people. I've invited a lot of people that I don't know and certainly don't expect them to go out of their way to figure out where we've registered. In the end, I printed up some cards and they will be an addition to some of the envelopes. The Chinese side gives red envelopes, so they won't get a card in theirs.
On a side note, I hit upon a couple forums while searching on this topic. I have to say that there are some real snippy, nasty, and just plain ridiculous brides out there. Can't we just get along?
