    It's a little embarrassing, but maybe I'm not the only one. I mailed out my invites the other day and realized that it says the date, the place, the time, etc for the ceremony but nothing about the reception. The reception is going to be at the church where we are going to be married.  So is it a big deal that I provided no information about the reception with the invite? I was thinking of possible printing something up and as RSVPs come in mail them something about how the reception is right after the ceremony at the church. Also the ceremony is at 7 in the evening and we are having just desserts and refreshments. I did not include this information either....! I'm just worried about how I did not address any this to any of the guests...

     

    Also, I did not let anyone know by mail that we registered at Target. It's on our webpage on theKnot and on my Facebook wedding page. What did you do about registering and letting your guests know? I heard that you don't tell your guest where you register, but instead the bridesmaids let the shower guests, personal party guests know where the couple is registered for gifts.

    From what I understand, you're not supposed to list your registry information on your wedding invite, but you can include it on your wedding websites.  I wouldn't worry too much about the registry information...whenever I have a wedding to go to, I check the usual registry locations (Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Department  stores, etc.) and I almost always find the couple's registry without any problems.  I'm sure your guests can figure it out...or your can ask your bridesmaids/close family members to spread the word.  Good luck!!!

    Hi.  To be honest, word of mouth will relay the information.  Call one key contact person in each grouping and say, "Would you mind contacting the family -- or the roommates -- or the cousins and let them know that the reception will immeidate follow in the church hall?  It will be a punch reception so we didn't think to include the information but some people are asking and i thought this would be a good way to get out the information."

    Then you can ask them to get emails for all the people and send them by email.

    Ask a dear friend to send emails to all the guests, updating them on the times, parking, and your registry at Target.

    Maybe if these poeple are close you already have an email and can by pass calling everyone!!  Ask a friend to send the update emails and you are good to go... I hope!!

    I had cards made up with information as to where we registered for gifts and such. I am planning on placing them in the envelopes with the invitations...It is YOUR wedding. There are NO rules as to what to do or not to do.

    Ya, me too!  The post was on 'related posts' so I clicked it, thinking they are the most up to date concerns.  WRONG!  Anyway, maybe someone else will be helped.

    So, I wonder what happened?

    It's a huge boo-boo to mention gifts on an invite, in any way, shape or form.
