Here are some things I use. I found most of it here at CS. The first 2 go together, but the 2nd page is set up wrong - the pamphlet needs to be folded funny.

I was mailing out my Open House invitations and so I really was wanting to give her something tangeable to look at regarding the wedding registry. I ended up tweaking one of the files on here and printed it off and included it in the envelope along with a quick note of "congratulations on the exciting news!" I will be calling her anyway in a few days to see if she will be coming to my Open House, so I'll follow up with her about both things. Thanks everyone!
