Hi everyone!
I am in a major panic. We got our invitations printed and included information concerning gifts and registries -- but I've now just read on several websites that it's very inappropriate to include such information!
The reasons we included this information are that:
1. Because we are moving to the USA (where i'm from) a month or so after the wedding, it makes more sense to have gifts purchased from the USA (due to electronic conversion issues -- can't use a UK toaster in the USA) and mailed to our new address. Also, we have zero storage space at our current location, and it doesn't really make sense to have gifts brought to the wedding only to mail them to the USA the very next day -- and horror of all horrors, risk things getting broken in transit.
2. Because I'm currently in the UK, I won't be having any wedding showers, the invitations for which would've normally include registry information.
3. Because our bridal party and guests are so spread out (and few of them know one another), the word-of-mouth method on registries wouldn't really work.
I should also note that our invites are really casual and fun (http://www.rsvpcandy.com/) and we wrote: "We are registered at X and Y and request that guests wishing to give gifts use these online registries . . . ."
In any event, what are your thoughts? Will I be alienating my guests? Should I get the invites reprinted?!!
Thanks!
