Not long ago it was a faux pas to include registry information on the baby shower invitation itself. The convention was to omit gift registry information completely or to only include it on a separate enclosure. If the registry was not provided, the hope was that the guests would ask the hostess and she would provide the information upon request. Today, protocol has given way to practicality and we see more baby shower invitation with registry information than without. So, especially for informal affairs like a baby shower, it is increasingly acceptable to include baby registry information on the invitation.
