[quote=Anonymous][[b]quote=Anonymous]Every single wedding invitation we have received in the US has mentioned multiple registries right on the paper invitation and also on the website. I have also received links to registries for baby showers. I don't see how any of this is more refined than saying "no boxed gifts". [/quote][/b]

You have very rude friends.  Any mention of ANYTHING about registries is not even supposed to be in the envelope.  Those attending the wedding are supposed to inquire of the bride's mother what the bride may like and where the couple may be registered but nothing in the invitation is supposed to mention anything about gifts.  Over time, as couples have become more greedy, slips of paper were included in the invitation indicating where the couple was registered.  Then it started to appear on the front of the invitation.  Now this "gofundme" and money grabs have popped up.  But I have never seen such vulgar begging for money.  Go read any of the etiquette columns in the newspaper. They all say the same thing:  no mention of gifts in the invitation.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette_in_North_America[/quote]
