I am thinking of sending a gift poem with our invitations to those just attending the main day time ceremony but should I send one to those that are only invited to come in the evening?

I only did it in the day invites & have had evening guests asking about a gift list so I would do both.

Just my opinion but I find gift requests/poems etc rude. I don't think its right to put anything about gifts in because you shouldn't expect gifts or money just because you are getting married. Its not like years ago when people would give something to help people get a start in life. You will likely get gifts anyway just saying I dont agree with mentioning them.

This was ours, everyone kept asking what we wanted to thought it was easier, we have lived together for 3 years ams have a little ladie and wasn't going to go on honeymoon but everyone suggested they would give money so we could have a little weekend break in th UK xx

It's a tricky subject but as a guest I wouldn't dream of going to a wedding and not giving a gift. I would much rather contribute to something that the happy couple have requested than buy them something that might end up in a cupboard or a charity shop
