just go into the store of your choice.. talk to someone that works there and they will set you up.
you carry around a little scanner gun throughout the store and scan what you want/need into the registry. Plus, I know most stores (such as my faves pottery barn/crate and barrell) will give you a discount on any items that you register for and don't recieve after your wedding. Because of that, some of my friends registered for dining room sets, bedroom sets etc that they knew they wouldn't recieve, but that they were able to get themselves at 25% off because it was on their registry. You can also register for a few things, and also put on your registry that you'd also like gift cards (i've had friends who have done that).
Think of the places you want gift cards too (ie target, bed bath and beyond, linens and things, I think even walmart does registry now) and register for a few things there.
As for the ettiquete.. i'm not too sure, but most of my friends have attached something with the invitation that said the bride and groom are registered at (crate and barrell, store name, and store name etc etc etc). Out of the 4 weddings i've gone to in the last year, all four have mentioned their registry in the invite (not on the actual invitation, but on a seperate piece of paper enclosed with the invite.)
