If we are honoured to receive a gift from you
as we celebrate our marriage
May we respectfully request the gift of money
You are probably thinking a present you’ll need to bring,
But just your presence will mean everything.
In each other we have all we’ll ever require,
But if you insist, there is a little something to which we aspire.
With special travel plans to follow our Day,
A small gift of currency would help us on our way.
No need to go overboard or rob a bank
Whatever your gift, it will be received with thanks.
We request that no gifts are given
as the couple are leaving the country after the wedding.
In lieu of a gift, a contribution to help start
Their new lives together would be greatly appreciated.
To assist with this a ‘Wishing Well’
will be provided at the reception.
(wording can be personalized
to the Bride & Grooms circumstances)
Ruby & Andrew are fortunate to
already have many of the items they need
to begin their new life together.
What they need now are the larger items,
so to make it easier for you,
and to help Ruby & Andrew to afford these items,
please consider using their wishing well.
However remember that this is only a suggestion
and what they really want
is for you to share their day with them.
Because we’ve been together for a little while now,
we’ve collected all our household things, before we took our vows.
If you were thinking of giving a gift to help us on our way,
A gift of cash in our ‘Wishing Well’
would really make our day
We don’t want to offend, but have it all
All household goods and so much more.
To save you shopping, sit back and rest
A gift of money is our request.
Don’t go overboard or rob a bank
Any little thing will be received with thanks.
We will supply the ‘Wishing Well’
No wrapping, an envelope and who can tell
Now that we’ve saved you all the fuss
Come along and celebrate with us.
If you were thinking of giving a gift
To help us on our way,
A gift of money towards our future
Would really make our day.
However, If you would prefer to purchase a gift
feel free to surprise us in your way.
If you were thinking of giving a gift
To help us on our way,
There are two special things
that would pave the way,
The path you choose is listed below,
Though any gift you give will help us grow.

Dear Family and Friends,
Because we have been together for a little while now,
we’ve collected all our household things.
At the reception there will be a wishing well in which
we would love to receive your best wishes.
If you would prefer to follow with tradition and give a gift,
it would be gratefully accepted.
Most of all we look forward to sharing
our special day with you.
We love our family and what we share
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 shhhh…don’t tell!
Once we’ve replaced the old with the new,
We can look back and say it was thanks to you!
In return for your kindness, we’re sure
That one day soon you’ll get
What you’ve wished for!.
Soon you will hear our wedding bells
As friends and family wish us well
We have more than enough
to fill our new home
And look forward to combining what we own
So please don’t fuss with dishes and bedding
We’re having instead a wishing well wedding
But more importantly we ask of you
Your love and prayers for blessings too
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

And in return for your kindness,
We’re sure, that one day soon you will get
What you wished for.
We made a commitment some time ago.
that together through life we were destined to go.
We purchased our furniture, linen and bedding,
In the fulfilling years leading up to our wedding.
what else we might need is not easy to foresee,
But we will be blessed by your gift
on our money tree.
We are trying to grow a money tree
A difficult task you would agree
But it’s something that we really need
Perhaps you would care to plant a seed.
