Not everyone gets invited to the bridal showers though, especially if they're from out of town. Or they may be invited but not able to go. This couple that I'm talking about stuck the registry info in their wedding invitation, and IF I had been able to go to the shower (I was invited, but forgot about it and didn't have a gift or $$ for a gift, so I skipped), I would have used the registry for both.
My own wedding, I invited people from 3 places that were not even near where I lived when I got married. Same with DH...we both moved around a bit before we settled here. None of those people were invited to the bridal showers - and the ONE town where they threw me a shower, only a handful of the people invited came to the wedding (it was 8 hours away). That was 8 years ago and it was definitely considered tacky to include registry info in the invites then...but it would have made life SO much easier in the long run, lol.
