This will allow your guests to have choices where to buy your gifts. An added bonus is that you will then have a greater variety of items to select.
How will people know I registered?
It is a debate whether you should include your registry information on the invitation. Some people believe that because electronic mail is so popular these days, the host should just send out a message with the mother’s information.
