    is this correct:

     

    You will find the registry with the bride or groom’s name and last name and the wedding date.

    It's "the", not he.

    Kidding. Haha.

    Use either the bride or the groom's first and/or last name, or the wedding date, to locate the registry.

    What are you trying to say? You'll find the registry online by searching for the bride and grooms' name?

    I don't mean that in a rude way, I know english isn't your first language.

    "the bride and groom are registered at ________". Everyone knows to type in the bride or groom's name and wedding date.

    Try: The registry is listed under the bride or groom's first and last name, with the wedding date.

    Just so you know, most registries are fairly self explanatory about how to locate the registry.  :-)

    @maisymay   so sorry to say this but it is going on the invitations. i explained several times why is going on the invitation. in puerto rico this is very common. it is part of the costume. most brides and grooms put a card asking for only cash gifts. to my friends here i asked them how people know about registry and all of them said the same thing: to put a little card in the invitation. 

    i dont know if this card is fine... 

     

    girls i know that for some this is bad ettiquete but i asked so much people. must of them older than 40 and they all said the same thing. and not of them are puerto rican. so this is the result. 

     

    please let me know is the wording is fine or if i should put something that sounds better

    "located under the bride or grooms' names, along with their wedding date" maybe? I think it's awkward because it's unnecessary.

    Also, make sure it says "Desiree and eduardo are registered at", not "register at".

    Your card sounds fine to me.  Although, on the first line, it should be "registered".

    Just one change: it should be "registered": Desiree & Eduardo are registered at:

    Otherwise, looks great!

    im so sorry girls... i feel awkward with this. but i would feel more weird putting a card that said we prefer cards or checks. i feel weird posting this in weddingbee because i know im breaking all the etiquette rules but im following what my guest wants. 

    i dont want to be sound like a just want gift but in puerto rico stuff works different and the etiquette is not something that is overseen there. sorry sorry sorry

     

    thanks for the spelling check

    Magenta,

     

    No need to apologize at all!  Yea there are good guidelines/etiquette for Weddings, but it doesn't mean they all have to be followed.  There really isn't a wrong or right especially if the Wedding is personalized to you and your FI.  If adding that registry card in your invite is what will make you,FI,and your guest happy, then DO IT!  And be confident with your decisions!  I think your card looks great.

    Is there a link to your specific registry? You could include that and just clear up some of the wording confusion?

     

    Then again, it might be a crazy ugly and long link. Nm.

    Yep, looks great, as long as you change it to "registered," as others said above.

    Also, you may want to change it to "The registry is listed under the bride or groom's first and last name, along with the wedding date." The grammar you have is fine, I just think this sounds a little smoother.

    And (I feel terrible for saying this, hopefully you don't take it the wrong way) the word is "custom," meaning a tradition or regular practice. Just thought you might want to know. Smile

    I would probably say "The registry is listed under the bride's or groom's first and last names"

    Saying "bride or groom's" is not grammatically correct, instead you could say "The registry may be found with the first and last name of the bride or groom, wedding date July 31, 2010".  Or, you could just say: "The registry is listed under Desiree Lastname or Eduardo Lastname, wedding date July 31, 2010".

    You could say, "Find the registry using the bride or groom's full name, and their wedding date."  I might also make that sentence in a smaller font than the first sentence.

    Also, I'm not sure that you need the "www" at the beginning of the website address.  I just tried it and it only worked without the the "www."  So http://honeymoonregistry.disney.go.com.  But it could just be my computer.  :)
