I wouldn't do it but I think it depends on the person hosting the party and how it's worded. I have a good friend who likes to have people RSVP via Facebook and on the page she will add a "wish list" of her kid's current interests, clothes and shoe sizes. She's a corporate event planner and her parties are always so amazingly executed. She's very organized and thoughtful too so it seems to fit her personality without being tacky. I think a "wish list" sounds better than a gift registry but they are essentially one of the same. I like the idea of giving it out when asked instead of including it in the invite though. I always include a gift receipt anyway so the host can exchange the gift if it's not something they can use.

Kinda. I make an Amazon wish list, mostly for me to keep track of ideas, and if someone asks, I give them the link for it. People have asked too! I don't put it on invites though. It's purely an "if you ask" type thing.

My SIL keeps Walmart wish lists for my niece and nephew. I was put off at first (years ago), but have come to appreciate them since then. For a birthday party I'd probably be annoyed or even offended--even though the list would be really helpful.
