  Are they having a reception? 

   
  

  
  

  Unable to even.

  If they are having a reception, it's less tacky (although still tacky to include the registration info, IMO).  But if not?   Suuuuuper tacky.

  If there is no reception you should send them one of those knit dolls that people use to cover extra rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom.

  Maybe the reception card was mistakenly left out?

  
  

  We had a surprise wedding at our engagement/graduation party.  We sent announcements out (no registration info) with an invitation to the west-coast reception (we got married in IN)

  This is what I'm thinking.

  Another vote for tacky. This feels along the same lines of inviting someone to the shower who isn't invited to the wedding...except there's no shower.

  Oh, this happened to me once!  It was someone I hadn't talked to in forever, and I didn't even know she was engaged.  I assumed the wedding would be a few months down the road, but as I heard people discussing it at the shower, it became apparent that she was getting married the following weekend, and that I was the only one at the shower who had not been invited to the wedding.  Which I wouldn't have minded, because again, we'd lost touch, but don't make me come to your excruciatingly boring shower and buy you a gift if we're not close enough for me to come to your wedding.  Grrrrrrrrr.

  There is no reception or the card go left out. However I did check out the wedding website and it doesn't mention any reception either. It just says to check back for wedding pictures.

  Yes the shower thing is bad too. I do have a humongous but close extended family. My cousin and I got married around the same time and neither of us could invite all the parents' cousins, second cousins etc. Our aunts threw us a big pre - wedding party with all the family but it was clearly specified not to bring gifts and they just had a memory book thing for people to write in for each of the couples.

  That sounds absolutely fine, since no gifts were expected and it was, you know, fun.  This was literally just a bunch of women sitting around watching the bride-to-be unwrapping place settings.  After she'd opened two, people commented "Now you and Bobby can eat together, hurr hurr!"  After four, "Now y'all can invite my husband and I to eat with you!"  I wanted to stab myself in the eye with my little plastic fork just to distract myself from the soul-sucking banter.
