Poem (RP) If you are ordering Poem Cards

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
To share with us our special day and have some fun along the way.

Poem (SP) If you are ordering Poem Cards

We know it's not traditional it's not the way it's done
But instead of a wedding list we'd like a bit of sun.
Please do not think of us as rude please do not take offence
We do not want to upset you, that's not the way it's meant.
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.
So if you'd like to give a gift to help us celebrate
Some money for a honeymoon we would appreciate

Poem (TP) If you are ordering Poem Cards

The love of family and friends
Bring happiness that never ends
Each one of you as guests we’ll treasure
You’ll fill our day with so much pleasure
While wedding presents are so nice
Your presence really will suffice
But if a gift is on your mind
Your contribution would be kind
We have a fund, please see below
Each welcome gift will help it grow
But the greatest gift is that you’ll say
You’d love to share our wedding day

Poem (VP) If you are ordering Poem Cards

We have been together quite a while
And have many pots and pans,
We don't need gifts in the usual style,
And we have another plan.
We know its not traditional,
Not the way its normally done,
But rather than a wedding list,
We would love a bit of sun!
So if you would like to give a gift,
And send us on our way,
A donation to our honeymoon
Would really make our day!

Poem (WP) If you are ordering Poem Cards

As our wedding day draws near
We hope our sentiment is clear
We need you there as we are wed
To witness our love as vows our said
But as for gifts, please, please don't try
To find the ideal thing to buy
We have no list of pots and pans
Just hopes and dreams and future plans
So if a gift is on your mind
A contribution would be kind
It will help us more than words can say
To celebrate our special day

Poem (XP) If you are ordering Poem Cards

To save you looking, shopping or buying.
Here is an idea, we hope you like trying!
Deciding which gift can sometimes be hard
Instead, why not just put some money into a card,
Please come to our wedding in best suits and frocks
And put the card into our wedding post box
Now make a wish that's special to you
We'll be hoping that your wish comes true
Please don't be offended at this type of request,
You will make our day just being our guest

Poem (YP) If you are ordering Poem Cards

For a couple of years we’ve lived in sin,
We have a toaster, a kettle and a stainless steel bin,
Saucepans and towels we have many,
Corkscrews and flannels we don’t need any,
We just want you with us to celebrate our day.
But if you insist on a gift anyway,
What we’d really like is a gift of money,
We hope you don’t think we’re being funny!
We’ll put it all together and buy something that’s best,
As a reminder of our day and our wonderful guests!

Poem (ZP) If you are ordering Poem Cards

We’ve been together for a while,
Our home is made with love and smiles,
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.
Please don't be offended at this type of request,
As our day is complete having you as our guest
