Definitely register! We had a destination wedding where about 60 people attended. We registered at 2 stores. We got a lot of gifts at the bridal shower and from the people we invited that couldn't make it to the wedding. And thank goodness we had a registry b/c who knows what we would have recieved if we didn't. People want guidance on what you want! A registry is the perfect way to do that. And it might make you feel better to know that not many of the people that came to the wedding gave us gifts - and that was totally ok with us, since they spent the time and money to come all the way to the wedding, which was WAY better than a gift.
Do not put that info on an invitation. Put it on your website and let your parents and wedding party know where you're registered in case anyone asks.
Register if you want but don't put it in the invitation - just an opinion.
With a DW, it makes sense to have a wedding website, to help your guests make their travel arrangements. Go ahead and register, and put that information on your website. Like the people who have already commented, I would expect that the invitees who are unable to attend will get you a gift, whereas those who attend, their presence will be their present.
I'd still register too. But I wouldn't get my hopes up for the gifts, some people may be tapped out! However, for those that couldn't make it, or the people attending that still want to get you stuff you should have a registry to make it easier for them. I wouldn't include it in the invitation. If they want to know, they'll ask :)
We're having a destination wedding in Puerto Rico with 30 people and we're registered. We've already received some gifts from both people who are going and who aren't. I do feel a bit guilty, but at the same time, if they don't want to buy you a gift, they simply won't. No big deal. I also tried to put a lot of small items on my registry in case someone wanted to get a gift but not spend a lot of money. I put the registry on our website, but most people just end up asking.

Just curious.....
My fiance thinks its rude to register for the wedding. We bought a house last year and have been living together for almost 5 years. There is still a lot on my list that I would like for the house (kitchen gadgets, decor, small furniture).
The issue is, we are having a small (30 guests) destination wedding to Jamaica. He thinks its rude to ask people for gifts when they are spending their money and vacation time to come see us get married. I COMPLETELY agree, but still want to register, just in case.
Would I include it on the invitations or just spread it by word of mouth, or not at all?
Suggestions, comments?
