			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Registering is a standard part of today&#8217;s wedding.  Yet people who memorize rules still insist that doing so is tacky.  Or, often, that you can register, but you can&#8217;t tell anyone unless they really push you.  I personally am fine with little inserts (most of the time listed as Pew Cards at the printers) being enclosed with the announcement which say where you&#8217;re registered&#8211;just a simple,</p>
<table border="1" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="200" align="center">Bethany and Colin<br />
are registered<br />
at Bed Bath &amp; Beyond.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>But that&#8217;s iffy&#8211;as I always say, &#8220;No one will notice but your mother and all her friends.&#8221;  It&#8217;s Boomers and older who most of the time play the &#8220;it&#8217;s tacky&#8221; card.  And while I am personally fine with those cards, I go out of my way to never let a bride enclose a 3rd party card&#8211;like the ones from Target with the big red target on them.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m here today to present a third option, one I use constantly with every bride who is savvy.  Enclose a card that says</p>
<table border="1" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="200" align="center">Please visit<br />
colinandbethany.com</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>That&#8217;s it.  A wedding website gives you an excuse to put registry information, direct links, shipping info, maps, pictures, histories, stories, everything&#8230;  It&#8217;ll look like a complete family website, but the secret thing &#8220;funding&#8221; it will be your registry info&#8230;  In fact, colinandbethany.com at one point had 8.5 MILLION links pointing to it on google!  And it all started as a registry and maps site.  If y&#8217;all want a wedding website, just holler and I&#8217;ll build you one.  Seriously, I can build you a teensy but legit one for under $50&#8211;only because I&#8217;ve done it so many times.  I&#8217;ll post later on that topic, but for now, don&#8217;t use the 3rd party cards, feel free to print some simple ones professionally, and feel encouraged to use the same card instead to announce a <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">registry</span> wedding website.</p>
