4. Putting gift registry information on the invitation. That's a big Don't. Registry information can go on your personalized wedding Web site and in shower invitations, but never on wedding invitations...not even informal ones. You can enclose a card with your wedding website, though. They'll find out your registry info along with their travel and hotel info.
5. Putting 'And Guest' when the recipient is in a long-term relationship or is engaged. Again, this is a research thing. Find out the names of your guests' guests - you can call them directly if you have never known their significant other's name, or ask a friend or relative for the info. It's a gracious move that is the essence of good invitation etiquette.
