The OP is bad enough, but keep reading. The "FI" makes an appearance in the later pages.
Oh, FFS.
Re: YWIA!
I know, right? I wanted to say "hey thanks for your service and all, but it still doesn't make you or the OP less of a couple of tactless, money-grubbing douchebags."
This is more for the confessions thread, but I found out my ex-FI is getting married and I checked to see if he had a wedding webpage out of curiosity. He didn't, but he did have a honeymoon registry. Apparently he & his FI want to go to Hawaii on some $10,000 honeymoon and are asking people to pay for it.
The general thought is that if they want to know, they'll ask. It's rude to put any mention of gifts in the invitation because it sends a (sometimes unintentional) message that gifts are expected. We had it on our wedding website and told our moms/close friends who spread the word when asked and everything worked out fine.

We miss you and love you always, little firecrackers!
What's wrong with it is that it gives the impression that the gift of one's presence at your event is not present enough and you are expecting something else. Regardless of whether that's true or not.
Your older guests probably remember that back in the day, before the internet, people used to talk to each other to find out information. Your guests can easily pick up the telephone and call someone to ask where you might be registered.
Yup, this is what I remember when I was doing invitations, what seems like many moons ago now.
Yeah I've seen plenty of registry cards in invitations before. That's why I had no clue it was considered poor etiquette.
This couple is ridiculous though.
OMFG is this a joke. They sound like the most selfish dovchebags on the planet.
"we served in the military" wtf does that have to do with anything. Seriously who ASKS for cash.. We had a modest registry and did NOT ask for cash or have a honeymoon registry (tacky) and most of our guests gave money. If I got that invite I wouldn't go. Why should I spend MY hard earned money on two jackholes who clearly are selfish jerks.
YWIA means you're welcome in advance.
DH and I were both retired military when we got married. I wish I had known that it's acceptable to demand money as a gift if you are a veteran. I'm sure we'd have made bank.
Damn etiquette!
