I personally think that is a good idea. Gives people time to get something for you that you may want. I am pretty sure that Miss Manners would say No! It is a clear indication that you are expecting a gift, something that is rude to begin with. And then to provide a shopping list just takes it another step. Registering your preferences for things like silver and china patterns is one thing, but providing a list of goods with the invitation is another. If someone asks, you can tell them where you are registered.
Set up a gift registry and put the details on the invitation.

You don't. If the couple are registered, they may tell a friend where they have registered who may in turn pass along that information if asked. Attaching registry information to the invitation screams: "I only want you there if you give me a great gift. Forget celebrating our union, it's all about the loot."

* Yes, if a married couple are renewing their vows then a gift should be given unless the invitation has stated that no gifts be given.
If you attend the wedding or the reception you should give a gift. It's not required and you don't have to give anything if you don't want to. ---- In polite society, gifts are NOT to be expected. Giving a gift is optional whether you received a gift from them or not, whether you go to the reception or not. The invitation is to join them in celebrating the event.
You generally send a wedding gift to the bride's home and the address where gifts are to be sent is the return address on the envelope re the wedding invitation.
Yes, but include a gift receipt in case they need to return it.
You should never ask for money on a wedding invitation. Instead, you should register for a few items as some people would only buy gifts. You could say we have everything we need but you risk not receiving a gift at all.
