Coupons for registry items?

We just registered at a department store this weekend. They gave us a whole bunch of coupons for 10% off any registry item that we can give to our guests to use when they buy us gifts.





I feel a little funny about this -- it seems weird to send them out with the invitations....should I give them to the people who are throwing showers for me and have them give them out in the shower invites? Only about half of the people on the invite list would be invited to the showers -- most are scattered across the country. (At least, I assume that we only invite people to a shower if they are likely to attend? Or does everyone on the guest list get invited?)





Should we send them out with the save-the-dates?





I feel like what we're ';supposed'; to do is to give them to our parents and friends and have them distribute the coupons to everyone else. But, first of all, that seems like an inconvenience to our parents. And second, many of our friends are ';stand-alone'; friends (meaning that they don't know anyone else who will be invited). And, like I said, most people are out of town.





My fiance says that it shouldn't matter if we send them out ourselves with the save-the-dates or invitations because it's better to give people a 10% discount than to tiptoe around it and have them have to pay full price.

hello weird! just toss them in the trash. really. dont get caught up marketing for some store. dont include them, the person you send them to is probably not going to use them. really, just dont even go there, it is not necessary. Coupons for registry items?
Just like you shouldn't be mentioning your registries on your wedding invites (or the save-the-date cards for that matter), you certainly shouldn't be putting coupons in your invites.





Instead, give them to the person who will be sending the invitations for you shower. She can include them in those invites along with the information about where you're registered. You can also give some of them to your close family %26amp; friends who can have them handy if anyone happens to ask for your registry info.
Be careful doing this the wrong way is going to seem very tacky. I think Sending them out with the shower invites would be good. But you don't have to use them if you don't want to. Its not going to save them that much money anyways. Think about it they'd have to spend at least $100 to save $10. I'd say throw them away! Good Luck!
You need to give them to whoever is throwing your bridal shower. That way they can send them out with the shower invitations and it doesn't look tacky.





GOOD LUCK!
