[QUOTE=PhoenixAzul]I never knew this was taboo...I could swear I always saw registry info on invites? hmm...i need to go back and look at my scrapbooks. [QUOTE]
Just because other people have done it doesn't mean it's right! It is most certainly considered tacky to include registry info or any mention of gifts (unless it is "No Gifts, Please") on your wedding invite. I would also agree with the asking for donations things- not everyone is going to agree with your cause.
A lot of people put registry info in the shower invite. Most of the people invited to the wedding should be invited to the shower (and no one invited to the shower should be left out of the wedding!!!! very tacky to invite someone to the shower and not the wedding, minus extenuating circumstances). Therefore most people will know where you're registered, and those that don't will either call and ask someone, or just give cash.
To ANY bride to be, getting married under any circumstances- go pick up Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette.

It's a smart investment and will answer tons of your questions as you go along. I've taken to buying it for my friends that become engaged. It's a great reference.
