Hi all just wondered if anyone is using or used the the gift list vouchers web site for their wedding list... or can anyone recommend a good one just realised we need to get a move on as sending out invite in a few weeks...

I think we are just going to ask for donations towards a honeymoon

we're doing the same as you greyarea! xx

were just going to put a poem in with our invites asking nicely for money that way were not tied to one place and can either use it to pay off any excess costs for the wedding our credit card may have had to be used for but hopefully we wont have to do that and can decorate our new home which were still saving up for aswell!

Most people opt for the high street ones.

me and my partner have been together for 4 years and have our own place and everything we need so we are asking that people dont buy use toasters etc but give us money toward honeymoon

We are thinking of opening a bank account in my mum's name (so we don't know how much people have given), and putting the money towards our honeymoon or a fab bed that we have seen. We don't really need things for the house as I have everything we need, but a new bed would be a fantastic thing for us to get (my current one is old and boring). The one we have seen is a Victorian black metal frame with coloured glass balls in the headboard and footboard - sounds a bit bizarre but believe me it's gorgeous, very gothic and alternative :-)

Im setting up a wedding web site with a gift list page, we've already set up home, in really dont need anything for it, so We're asking for donations, and thats a plus with the wedding site, as I can put Paypal on it, and that way our guests could donate easily, Kim is worried that that is like begging thou

we are asking for money towards a holiday xxx

We're asking for Ikea vouchers or money :)

Hey, I need some opinions please. I searched and found this topic so seemed good enough place to put my query. We have been together 7 years & have 2 kids, we don't want to do a gift list as habe hardly any space as it is storage wise. We desperately need to decorate the house & have been putting it off until after the wedding so was suggested that we put a money poem in or something asking for money for a gift that we could then Use to decorate. I just don't think I can bring myself to do that though as it just seems cheeky even though I've nit been offended at all by people who have done this. The more I think about it I suppose it's cheeky to even have a gift list too as presumptuous somebody would give a present. Anyway this has made ne decide to perhaps not put anything in my invite, so my query is if you received an invite with nothing suggesting a gift list/money what would you do? My concern is if people feel that kindly want to give a gift we might end up with a lot of duplicates or nowhere to put things - like I said, we have serious lack of storage space. Now just realised I sound quite pretentious & that wasn't my intention at all. Perhaps I've just answered my own question!

We weren't going to have a list or ask for anything, but everyone told us that if we didn't then people would still buy us stuff and we'd probably end up with 5 toasters, 7 electric carving knives and 15 sets of different glasses! So we asked for vouchers from a well known travel agent (TC) who we booked our honeymoon through, and although we've paid for it in full, they have said that anything we get in vouchers will be refunded back onto the card which was used to pay for it.

Thanks MelG. We are using H2b's parent's timeshare for our honeymoon so just paid for flights else we would have done something like that I think. Why is it I'm finding everything about weddings stressful at the mo? I've had enough wedding planning!

We are also going to ask guests for money with a cheeky poem, H2b has said why dont we ask for money for the honeymoon! lol I guess we could sneak that into the poem.. now that is cheek!! : )
my girls were not too happy when we said we werent going to have any presents but the moment we said money, straight away they knew what they wanted to spend it on, amazing how they can suddenly come up with a list of things they need isnt it !! lol : )

Kerry if I was asked to your wedding with no gift information I would end up ringing you and asking what you would like. Personally, I would rather put the info in the invite to avoid awkward discussions with friends and family. There is a website where your guests can 'buy' you experiences on your honeymoon such as a meal out ot tours etc Croc has those details. You could also say that you are combining the money to buy something for your home such as a fab picture etc as a reminder of your day and then you could spend any extra as you chose. I am also not a fan of the poems and would much prefer to just state it as it is!

THanks ladies. Had a chat with h2b and he isn't keen on not having any info in them, as like ryhope said it will lead to them having to ask anyway but think i will just state it as it is like faeth has done.

Pinky your invites are lovely. x
