    We literally have everything we need for the house etc and dont wanna end up with 10 toasters (we already have 4 lol)
    And some of our family dont use the internet so wont be able to do an online giftlist....

    So we thort we'd send them this.......

    If you're thinking of a gift for us
    We ask if you would consider
    Contributing to our honeymoon
    To make it all the sweeter

    Our house is full of all the things
    A couple could require
    And so a holiday away
    Is what we most desire

    Then while we're relaxing on the beach
    Or by the pool so blue
    We'll sit back and know
    That it is truly thanks to you!

    What do you's think? xx

    Happily Married! :) xxx

    That's perfect! We've printed something similar onto business card sized cards to match the invites and will send out with them.

    that is what we are asking for as well. that way we will not have to worry about saving so much on spending money. on our honeymoon we want to experience everything... and not have to worry about cost. we are doing that already for the wedding.
    on honeymoon we want to relax and not worry about money! again!

    Ive struggled with this subject so i found this poem and have ordered it on business cards to pop inside invite.And bought a really pretty wishing well from ebay for £15!


    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!
