Formal Invitation to follow

Gift Poem A

 

We know it's not tradition 

It's not the way it's done 

But instead of a wedding list 

We'd like a bit of sun 

We've lived together quite a while 

And all the bills are paid 

We've got our plates, our pots and pans, 

Our plans have all been made 

We would appreciate your help though, 

To send us on our way 

A contribution to our honeymoon 

In a land quite far away 

But most importantly, we request, 

You come to our wedding as our guest.

Gift Poem B

 

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 vouchers, would save a lot of strife!

Gift Poem C

 

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’ve already got,

We’d appreciate money for our saving pot.
But, most importantly, we request,

That you join us as our wedding guest.

Gift Poem D

 

We do not wish for presents, we hope you do not mind,
We haven’t got a gift list, there’s nothing we could find.
Your presence at our wedding will give our day a lift,
Your company is priceless, and will make the perfect gift.

Gift Poem E

 

We've been together quite a while and have a lovely home,
There are not too many items that we don't already own.
So if your thoughts were on a gift, your presence will suffice,
But if you really feel the need then cash or vouchers would be nice.
The choice is really up to you and we would like to say
We hope you come, enjoy yourselves and have a lovely day.
