How to ask for gifts??

My fiance' and I are planning a destination wedding in Jamaica about a year from now. We plan to hold a reception in the U.S. a month or so thereafter. I've seen in more than one wedding source that you should never include wedding registry info in a wedding/reception invitation, and only in a shower invite. As I'm likely not having a true bridal shower for various reasons, how do we let our friends and family know where we are registering??

A great way is to have your other or maid of honor let them know. She can send out an FYI e-mail or simply call up prospective guests to make sure they recieved the invitation, then simply pass on the information discretely. It will even seem like their idea.
