Should`nt Ask For Gifts?
My son and daughter in law recently got married. They chose very few people to attend the wedding. Now they want to have a big reception of over 100 people and expect to get gifts. I keep telling him not to include a card that indicates where they are registered. What is the proper thing to do?

If people want to bring them a present, as I`m sure some will, they will know to ask either the couple, the wedding party, or the couples families about registry information. They are inviting people to celebrate with them, not to bring them gifts. It is never, ever, ok to include this information in invitations, and it is in fact down-right tacky.
