If so, what info did you decide to include and why? I have looked at some wedding websites and while I think it’s a great idea — a nice way to give guests more comprehensive information about the wedding, directions, things to do in the area, etc. — but I wish the sites I saw were more creative and didn’t follow such a predictable/overused format.
Plus, I noticed most had a registry section, listing not only where they are registered, but also including direct links to the registries. Is that proper etiquette? It makes it easy for guests to find the registry, but I guess I’m old-fashioned and I feel gifts/registries shouldn’t be mentioned anywhere by the couple themselves and should be passed around through word of mouth. What do you think?

If you want to pretend that the internet does not exist, that is certainly your option. You need seek no further. Pretend the link does not exist and it won't offend your sensibilities. However, I think it's perfectly fine for the couple to list where they are registered. You are under no obligation to give a gift or gift the couple what is on their registry.

I have one and I plan to include my registry info. I haven’t made one of those yet, though. The registry/registries on my site will be on a separate page.
As long as you’re not saying “BUY SOMETHING FROM OUR REGISTRY!!!” next to the link, it should be fine.

I did mine through theknot.com It was simple. It pretty much gave me boxes to fill in. It includes how we met, a little about ourselves, a little about our bridal party, wedding attire. The time, date, place of both the reception and the ceremony. I has a guest book and an option to rsvp through there instead of the old mail in method. Also has a place where you can post your registry info. You can upload a picture, chose your page’s format. I think there are a couple other things but I can’t think of them right now.
This is a fine way to mention your registries. Word of mouth works too, as long as it’s not right on the invite you are fine!
