According to the rules of etiquette, the non-tacky way is that the bride and groom mention where they're registered to their parents and members of the wedding party, who will then pass on that info by word of mouth.

[(Anonymous)]

This was my understanding as well, but in my opinion, this is even more tacky. It just feels so gossip-y and faux humble, like, we all know you registered for a bunch if shit you want people to buy you, why do we have to take on the burden of all this tedious cloak-and-dagger BS so you can pretend no one knows you want a bunch of shit? Also, it's tough on work friends and other invitees who don't personally know the family or wedding party. I'm not going to hunt anyone down to find out this stuff.

"Hey, where are you registered?"

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, yes, I'll ask the people getting married, but I'm not going to make an effort to go behind their backs and discretely ask their parents or someone else.

[(Anonymous)]

Asking someone, "Hey, are [bride and groom] registered anywhere?" hardly qualifies as cloak and dagger. If you don't know anyone except thebride and/or groom, then go ahead and ask them, but come on, don't act like this is a herculean task.

Or they could just put the info on the invitation.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - Yes, they could. It'd be tacky, but many people no longer realize or care that including registry info in the invitation looks like a greedy gift grab.
