Asking for "cash" these days is not a new idea. Recent research has shown that 65% of couples are now doing so. Most couples already have most essential household items, hence receiving cash instead is more ideal. Cash can be used "as a deposit" towards their new home or for their honeymoon. This would save your guests the hassle of looking for a gift, and the best thing about this, is they will feel priviledged to have contributed towards something that is more worthwhile "a new home" or "your honeymoon" We have listed herein a number of "tasteful ways" of requesting for the gift of money.
Invitation No.1: "If you were thinking of giving us a gift, A gift of cash towards our home, would really make our day. However, if you prefer to purchase a gift, feel free to delight us in your own way."
Invitation No.2: "We would really appreciate a little money of our own, instead of a gift for our new home!" We know you want to find something nice But it's such a hassle to find the right stuff So come and enjoy our special day
Invitation No.3: Now we are to be Mr & Mrs We don't need a wedding list of dishes we have two microwave, two toasters, two kettles We require a house for which we have to save. If you would like to give us a gift, A cheque or vouchers would give us a lift We like to think of it as our 'Wishing Well' Which will be filled with your love and good wishes
Invitation No.4: Friends, we already have most items needed to 'set up our home'. This is the reason for us choosing a wedding wishing well. At the reception there will be a wishing well in which we would love to receive your greeting card and contribution. This will be a great way for us to pool together some funds to buy ourselves something quite luxurious, or to make our honeymoon even better.
Invitation No.5: To support us on our special day you may wish to follow with tradition and bring a gift. Or alternatively you may like to help us make our honeymoon a little more special. For this reason we have chosen a wedding wishing well. The wishing well will be at the reception where we can receive your best wishes and contribution.
Invitation No.6: 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!!
Invitation No.7: Soon you will hear our wedding bells, As Friends and family wish us well. Our household items are not brand new, We have twice the things we need for two. Since we have our share of dishes and bedding, We're having instead a wishing well wedding. But more important we ask of you, your prayers of love and blessings too!
Invitation No.8: They have beddings 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.
Invitation No.9: "We've stayed together for a few years now; we have pots and pans, linen and towels; glasses and toasters, really quite a few; so instead of more gifts, we suggest this to you; if it doesn't offend and it won't send you running; what we would really appreciate is quite simply money; we know choosing gifts can be such a pain; and this way there is no chance of bringing the same." What do you think?
Invitation No.10: Our home is almost complete now, we've been together long enough, so please consider our request and do not take us wrong. A delicate request it is, we hope you understand. Please play along as it will give our married life a hand. The tradition of the wishing well is one that's known by all. Go to the well, toss in a coin and as the coin does fall, Make a wish upon that coin and careful as you do. Cause as the well's tradition goes your wishes will come true. So on this special day of ours, the day that we'll be wed. Don't hunt for special gifts but give money in it's stead. And as you drop the envelope with money great and small, Remember, make your wish as you watch your money fall.
Invitation No.11: To save you the hassles of searching, shopping or buying. Here is an idea, we hope you like trying. Come to our wedding, to wish us both well. And bring this small sack, to throw in our wishing well. Fill it with paper all colours will do, gold is our favourite but silver will do. Now that we have saved you, all of that fuss. We hope you will come, and celebrate with us, our very special day
Invitation No.12: This wishing well is here today for family and friends. Please make a wish and drop it in the Wishing Well. As it falls into the well your wish, for the couple, will come true. A token for the couple, to help them begin, will be welcomed, too. Please take the time to make a wish before the day is through.
Invitation No.13: 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 too will get what you wished for.
