Well, I get that, but on the other hand, it's expected now to gift at a wedding. It would be extremely difficult and inconvenient for a guest, especially one who may not know many people other than the bride at the wedding, to have to hunt down where the couple is registered at. I would much rather have it in the invitation; I find it significantly more convenient. I would be seriously annoyed if I had to call a bunch of people to find out how to buy them a gift.

Unless everyone attending the wedding is from the same town and knows the bride's family and bridesmaids personally, I think that enclosing a gift registry card is only considerate. I mean, my cousin is engaged to a girl from New England. I have no clue if they registered down here, up there, or in between.
