Gifts of Cash or Vouchers on your Wedding Day Instead of Traditional Wedding Gifts
Honeymoons are a good reason to ask for money instead of a gift. But, often, you might prefer for money to spend on either improving your current home or some cash towards the purchase of your next home together.
Many couples are now using a wedding wishing well or post box for guests to place their gifts cards. You can hire a full size wishing well or buy a ready made well or even have one custom made by one of the many personalised stationery businesses.
------ Cash instead of Gifts Verses ------
We are sending out this
invitation,
And hope you will join our celebration.
If to send a gift is your intention,
In modesty we would like to mention,
We have already got a kettle and a toaster,
Crockery, dinner mats and coasters,
So rather than something we have already got,
Please give us money for our saving pot.
But, most importantly, we request,
That you turn up as our wedding guest
----------
To celebrate our
wedding you may wish to buy us presents
However this is not required, all we want is your
presence
If you insist, we must admit, some money would be
great
To help us do some home improvements at a later
date.
If you still feel the need, to get us a small token,
We would appreciate vouchers for any shop that's
open
Regardless of which choice you make, all we would
like to say,
is come along and have some fun, on this our special
day.
----------
We haven't got a gift list, for all of you to see,
Because as you all know we never can agree!
But if you'd like to help us, start our married
life,
cash or high street vouchers, would save a lot of
strife
----------
----------
We have most of the things we need
Like a kettle and two toasters,
We have two different crockery sets
With dinner plates and coasters,
Pots and pans, knives and forks
A chopping board for cheese,
If you would like to give us a gift
We would like the money please!
----------
They have
their dishes and towels for two
They have pots and pans and oven mitts too
So what do you get for the Bride & Groom
Whose house is setup in every room?
Their house needs repairs and some upgrades too
But you can not register for carpet and glue.
A well that holds wishes is the way to go
So lets make it easy for all that know.
An envelope will be provided for those who have
room,
To give a monetary wish to the Bride and Groom
A wishing well will be on display at the reception
hall
To attach your wishes, for the couple, with love
from all
----------
Because at first we lived in sin
We've got the sheets and a rubbish bin
A gift from you would be swell
But we'd prefer a donation to our Wishing Well!
----------
More than just
kisses so far we've shared,
Our home has been made with Love and Care,
Most things we need we've already got,
And in our home we can't fit a lot!
A wishing well we thought would be great,
(But only if you wish to participate),
A gift of money is placed in the well,
Then make a wish .... but shhh don't tell!
Once we've replaced the old with the new,
We can look back and say it was thanks to you!
And in return for your kindness, we're sure
That one day soon you will get what you wished for
----------
If you were
thinking of giving a gift, to help us on our way.
A gift of cash towards our house, would really make
our day.
However, if you prefer to purchase a gift, feel free
to surprise us in your own way
----------
