How can I include my registries on my housewarming party invitation?

Dear Polite One,

How can I inform guests of my housewarming party invitation of my registries?

Dear Visitor,

I’m sorry, but this is never appropriate.  Since a housewarming is a party we host for ourselves, we shouldn't expect or request gifts. Registering and announcing it could appear greedy.  Plus, you are creating a gift-giving situation for yourself.  Not polite.  

A housewarming is supposed to be a party to warm our home with love, not gifts. Some may give us small token gifts. Mostly, they come to visit.

Sincerely,

The Polite One
