I've been getting the word out that if anyone wants to buy us gifts, we would love gift cards from specific stores because our friends won't stop asking where we're registered. However, my fiance's co-workers have asked him to post this on the group invitation he gave them (which they posted in their breakroom.) I know it's a tacky thing to do, but since they asked, do you think it's okay? Also, how should I word a little note to attach to it? I'm a little disturbed at doing this because we really aren't expecting gifts, but everyone is insisting on it, it seems. We have also told our friends that they really don't have to buyus anything, but I know they won't listen. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you, because we would do the same thing I'm sure. Any advice would be appreciated!

Re: [princessldc] Requesting gift cards
[In reply to]
Dear Requesting,
Please ask your fiance not to do this. If you say anything about gifts on the invitation, it will reflect poorly on him. And, believe me everything at work is judged.
You could list this on your wedding web site. It is easy to set up and is a way to tell the world your love story. Just have your request for gift cards on a registry at a store. Don't write on your web site that you want gift cards. Also, have your gift requests on a different page than anything else and never on the first page.
When you register, just register for the gift cards in different denominations--very easy and appropriate.
