Wishing Well
Your love, laughter and company at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. Should you wish to honour us with a gift, a wishing well will be available
Although we really appreciate any gift you may care to give, we would very much appreciate a donation to our “honeymoon fund” We are setting off on our journey shortly after the wedding where we will reminisce on the fabulous day of love you helped share with us
If you were thinking of giving a gift to help us on our way, a gift of cash towards our house would really make our day. However, if you prefer to purchase a gift feel free to surprise us in your own way
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
Please no gifts as we have everything we could ever need, your presence is the only gift we want.
Your presence at our wedding is present enough! But if we’re honoured with a gift from you may we respectfully request a gift of money to help the building of our dream home come true!
Please be aware that gifts are not necessary. Your presence is all that is required. However, for your convenience we have prepared a gift registry
On the road to married life we’ve collected many things to be husband and wife The honeymoon however is another thing we had to choose between it and the wedding rings A donation to our wishing well would be appreciated in every way as it will help send us on a romantic holiday
If you were thinking of giving a gift to help us on our way, a gift of cash towards our house would really make our day. However, if you prefer to purchase a gift feel free to surprise us in your own way
Our life together has already begun, we almost have everything under the sun. If you were thinking of buying a gift, a little extra money will give us a lift. But most importantly, we request, you share our day as our wedding guest. Now that we’ve saved you any fuss, we can’t wait for you to celebrate with us!
Because at first we lived in sin We’ve got the sheets and a rubbish bin! A gift from you would be swell But we’d prefer a donation to our Wishing Well!
