That's actually what the etiquette books suggest that one does. I absolutely LOVED the people who did that, as I had their thank you notes written prior to the wedding! It was the only way I could calm down at night!
Also, in each town or circle of friends, there simply has to be at least one blabber mouth who, when told where the couple is registered, will tell everyone else. They live for that stuff!
And those with a computer have no excuse! The minute you receive a wedding invitation, you should immediately check the most likely registries - and if you
still can't find them, a quick, "I don't want to keep you but would you mind telling me if Eunice & Heinrich are registered and where?" call would be most welcome! Do you really think that Eunice & Heinrich want to spend their first married days returning 18 toasters or dustbusters?
