Asking For Money
Many couples these days have been living with each other for years before they tie the knot, which means they own every house hold good under the sun! Therefore please don’t fret if you and the groom would simply prefer money towards your honeymoon or the beginning of your married lives together. There are many ways you can ask your guests politely for cash.
When sending the invite attach a poem like the following:
We really hope that you can join us,
On our special day,
You’ll make our memories complete,
In every single way,
We do not have a gift list,
And we know you’ll understand,
Our house and contents are complete,
With pots and plates and pans!
But should you really want to give,
And celebrate this way,
A gift of money would be lovely,
For a rainy day.
Post Boxes
Another lovely touch is placing a post box or a wishing well at the reception, so your guests can place their cards in there and will know they are safe for you to look forward to.
We adore this very British red post box from Elizabeth and Stevens, ideal for your big day.
Notonthehighstreet.com has a wonderful collection of post boxes and wishing wells to suit every couple. Leaving pens and note paper next to the post box is another lovely activity for your guests to enjoy. They can leave their wishes and thoughts of the day in the post box for you both to enjoy reading at a later date.
