Bunny - You are correct -- according to traditional wedding etiquette, it is not acceptable to include registry cards with invitations. An alternative is to let only close friends and family members know any wedding preferences or registry options so the information can be shared via word of mouth.

So basically we were right... people shouldn't even include a registry card in an invitation since the guests might feel obligated to get the gift from said registry. Ay que naca! hehe.

Corinne -- Unfortunately, it is tacky to request any wedding gifts regardless of your honeymoon plans or previous marital status. Your best recourse would be not to have a registry, but if guests ask what you'd like, you can explain your preference to help out on the honeymoon. Best wishes!

I will be 60 years old when I marry my sweetie who will be 65. We are both widowed and don't really need household items. Is it tacky to register for gasoline gift cards towards our honeymoon (we are going camping)?

Any other ideas for travellers' wedding gifts? We have luggage.
