Q & A: A Different Gift Registry Question
Q: I know I shouldn’t include registry info in the invites…ok, I got it. But what about if I send out something to the people who RSVP telling them more about the wedding and including a print out of my registry. That’s not bad…is it?
A: Are you really that desperate to get gifts? Sheesh! People know you are having a wedding and they’ll probably want to give you a gift so there is no reason to be pushy about it. As my mom would say; don’t be a tackhead (someone who is tacky).
It’s bad enough to include a registry card in an invite; but at least if you did that people could say “Well, she didn’t know it was rude.” But to print off a page??!? You are not only insulting people’s intelligence (i.e. as if you need to remind them to bring a gift); but you are also making yourself look life a gift whore.
If someone sent me a registry page; I’d send them nothing, or if I was feeling particularly snippy I’d send them a copy of an etiquette book with gift passages highlighted.
