These days it is common for a bride & groom to request money instead of a wedding
gift. However, asking for a gift of money for your wedding should be handled delicately.
Below are a few suggestions that you could include with your wedding invitations.
Some of these poems state that you will provide the envelope so, please, don't forget
the envelope !
They have their dishes and towels for two,
They have pots and pans and oven mitts too.
So what do you get for the bride & groom
whose house is setup in every room?
Their house needs repairs and some upgrades too,
But you can not register for carpet and glue.
A Wishing Well is the way to go,
so lets make it easy for all that know.
An envelope will be provided for those who have room,
To give a monetary wish to the bride and groom.
A Wishing Well will be on display at the reception hall
to complete your wishes, for the couple, with love from all.

Our home is quite complete now,
we've been together long.
So please consider our request,
and do not take us wrong.
A delicate request it is,
we hope you understand.
Please play along, as it will give
our married life a hand.
The tradition of the wishing well,
is one that's known by all.
Go to the well, toss in a coin
and as the coin does fall.
Make a wish upon that coin,
and careful as you do.
Cause as the wells tradition goes,
your wishes will come true.
So on this special day or ours,
the day that we'll be wed.
Don't hunt for special gifts
but give money is it's stead.
And as you drop the envelope,
with money great and small,
Remember, make your wish
as you watch your money fall.

We hope that you will join us,
on this our special day,
To celebrate our union
in a very special way.
To make it easy for you
and avoid a shopping spree
We thought that we would have instead,
a little Wishing Well.
Because we've been together,
for a while now,
We collected all our household things
before we took our vows.
An envelope has been included
for you to make your wish
No name is required for each gift,
as anonymity is the key!
So please don't be offended
at our new type of request,
Just telling everyone our wish,
has really put us to the test!
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 what might help us in the future is a deposit in our Wishing Well.

So what do you get
For the Bride and Groom
Whose house needs things
In every room?
When shopping for a present
Please, don’t be rash
As the option is there
To just give cash!
Come to our wedding
to wish us well
And make some use
of our little wishing well.
We hope that you don’t find
Our request to be funny
But the decision is yours
To buy a present, or give money
Now you have the choice
Please do not fuss
The most important thing of all
Is that you come celebrate with us!
To save you looking,
shopping and buying,
Here is an idea
we hope you'll like trying!
Come to our wedding
to wish us both well,
And make some use
of our little wishing well.
Just put some money into a card,
Now make a wish....
See, that wasn't hard!
Now that we have saved you all of
the fuss,
We hope that you will come
And celebrate with us !
