bridal shower? I am getting married and I am not having a bridal shower..We are also having a very small wedding with just our parents. I am still sending an announcement to everyone, would it be in poor taste to put the registry in the announcement?
 
Very poor taste. Pass it by word of mouth. You never put it in invitations. Especially if you aren't having a wedding with lots of people and are just sending out announcements. My sister-in-law and my brother made the mistake of putting it in their invitations and her grandfather wouldn't come because he was so offended and thought they just wanted gifts which they didn't.

It's not really considered "etiquette" but rules don't have to followed word for word all the time. However, if there is no reception and they are not attending then yes it would be in very poor taste to send out a registry. If there was a wedding reception and the people you send it to are ones who are invited to it then you MIGHT be able to get away with putting the registry cards inside since there was no bridal shower but be careful with that idea even because some people take it the wrong way as if all you want is gifts. But other than that, it's not a good idea.

You might want to send a separate thing with the registry but I'd say do it by word of mouth, or have a wedding website that has the registry info on it (theknot.com is a great site)
