So have been trying to think of a way of telling our guests that we would like money rather than gifts as we're renovating our house at the moment. The wishing well poem we had was just a generic one and didn't mention where the money would be going to so it wasn't really what we wanted. Also didn't really want to "ask" for money instead of gifts, we really just wanted to 'suggest' it.
So I've just typed this up and wondered what you thought about it please? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
As we already have our home set up and
are currently renovating ,
If you’re having trouble thinking of a gift ,
A monetary donation or Bunnings gift voucher
To help with our renovations
Would be very much appreciated.
It's not meant to rhyme.

We have a house full of stuff,
but a HOME for our stuff?
Just not quite!
If your stuck on an idea,
and currently wondering,
what would these two love birds,
love on their wedding day?
A monetary gift or
a Bunnings gift voucher,
would be the most helpful gift,
the gift of renovating,
A HOME for our stuff!
As our home is already furnished and
renovations have just begun,
If you’re having trouble thinking of a gift ,
How about a voucher or some money, to help with our home.
What ever you decide will be greatly appriciated. Thanks
I tried babe, its poo but I tried....I will think about it while I work.....I will get back to you after that.
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 deposited into a well,
Then make a wish...
But shhh don't tell!
Once we've replaced,
the old with the new,
We can look back,
and say it was thanks to you!
We don't want to offend,
but we have it all,
household goods,
and so much more.
To save you shopping,
looking and buying,
a gift of currency,
we thought you'd like trying.
Don't go overboard,
or rob any banks,
anything will make us smile,
with hearts full of thanks.
Now that we have saved,
you all the fuss,
we hope you will come,
and celebrate with us.
I like this one......
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 well that holds wishes 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 attach 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 well's 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
Soon you will hear our wedding bell,
As Friends and family wish us well.
Our household thoughts are not brand new,
We have twice the things we need for two.
Since we have our share of dishes and bedding,
We're having instead a wishing well wedding.
But more important we ask of you,
your prayers of love and blessings too!
Now we are to be Mr & Mrs
We don't need a wedding list of dishes
we have two kettles, two toasters, two microwaves
We require a house for which we have to save.
If you would like to give us a gift,
A cheque or vouchers would give us a lift
We like to think of it as our 'Wishing Well'
Which will be filled with your love, we can tell.

LOL wow Rowie!! You really went to town with them!! One of them I'd found somewhere as well but I'm not sure I really want anything that rhymes and we've only got about 6 lines of room to fit it on the invitations.
Why is it all so hard :laughing:

This is the one that we used :)
We used this for ours
Because at first we lived in sin
We already have the dustpan, and rubbish bin
A gift from you would be swell
But we'd prefer a donation to our wishing well.
HTH good luck with the big day

and in our home we can't fit a lot
if finding a gift is hard to do
our wishing well is just for you!
a gift of money is placed in the well
then make a wish...shh dont tell!
our dreams of renovating will then come true
we can then look back and say it was thanks to you!
there - got the renovating bit in there ahha

Yes, this is a good one :yes:
We had this:
If you are having trouble finding just the gift for us, this may prove a solution with minimum of fuss.
We made a commitment sometime 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.
To save you looking, shopping and buying, here's an idea we hope you 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.
