Registries aren't hard to find if the couple registers at the standard places, particularly department stores. You can go to their website and search by last name. If people don't do that, they can ask a contact where the couple is registered. Tacky little registry cards are not needed.
The same goes for babies. A few of my coworkers have gotten married/had babies recently, and never mentioned where they registered, and we still were able to find a registry and an appropriate gift for all of us to chip in on and give to the expecting parent/bride/groom.
Honeymoon registries, and unsoliticted emails about where the couple is registered, are not necessary.
But hey, at least you didn't get the email directly from the bride or groom.
And don't even get me started on the "stag and drag" "casino night" thing - at that point, you're just asking your friends to fund your wedding. I even got an invite to a stag and drag from someone who I knew 100% I would not be invited to the wedding (or any of the showers) - so basically, what you're saying is, you want ME to help pay for a wedding and food and decorations that I will never see or eat at? F. U.
