WISHING WELL, TREASURE CHEST, MONEY TREE & BIRD CAGE POEMS
Wishing Well 1
Friends, as you are aware we already have most items needed to 'set up
house'. This is the reason for us choosing a wedding wishing well. At the
reception there will be a wishing well in which we would love to receive
your greeting card and contribution. This will be a great way for us to
pool together and buy ourselves something quite luxurious, or to make
our honeymoon even better.
Wishing Well 2
To support us on our special day you may wish to follow with tradition
and bring a gift. Or alternatively you may like to help us make our
honeymoon a little more special. For this reason we have chosen a
wedding wishing well. The wishing well will be at the reception where
we can receive your best wishes and contribution.
Wishing Well 3
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.
Wishing Well 4
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!
Wishing Well 5
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 placed in the 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!
And in return for your kindness, we're sure
That one day soon you will get what you wished for.
Wishing Well 6
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!
Wishing Well 7
This wishing well is here today for family and friends. Take an
envelope, make a wish and please drop it in. As it falls into the
well your wish, for the couple, will come true. A token for the
couple, to help them begin, will be welcomed, too. Please take the
time to make a wish before the day is through.
Wishing Well 8
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.
Wishing Well 9
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 of ours, the day that we'll be wed.
Don't hunt for special gifts but give money in it's stead.
And as you drop the envelope with money great and small,
Remember, make your wish as you watch your money fall.
Wishing Well 10
"We've been together a few years now;
we have pots and pans and linen and towels;
we have glasses and toasters, really quite a few;
so instead of more gifts, we suggest this to you;
if it doesn't offend and it won't send you running;
what we would really appreciate is quite simply money;
we know choosing gifts can be such a pain;
and this way there is no chance of bringing the same."
What do you think?
Wishing Well 11
"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."
Wishing Well 12
"We really would appreciate a little money of our own,
instead of a little gift for our new home!"
We know you want to find something nice
But it's such a hassle to find the right price
So come and enjoy the day all sunny
We really would appreciate a little money.
Wishing Well 13
To save you looking, shopping or buying.
Here is an idea, we hope you like trying.
Come to our wedding, to wish us both well.
And bring this small sack, to throw in our wishing well.
Fill it with paper all colours will do, gold is our favourite
but silver will do.
Now that we have saved you, all of that fuss.
We hope you will come, and celebrate with us.
Wishing Well 14
Please find within this page
information just for you
With some rules and regulations
That we both insist you do
The first is ‘you must come’
To our special day
The second one is vital
If you’re to be our guest
And that is eat and drink a lot
Or do your very best
The third one is an order
So don’t bring two left feet
As when the evening comes around
You MUST dance to the beat
The fourth rule can be broken
We really do not mind
But if you choose to follow it
Thank you for being so kind
We’ve been together for a few years
And have a lovely home
There are not too many items now
We don’t already own
So please don’t be offended
And please don’t think we’re brash
But if your thoughts were on a present
We would much prefer the cash
But the choice is really up to you
And we would like to say
That we hope you come, enjoy yourselves
And have a lovely day
Wishing Well 15
The tradition of the wishing well
used on the wedding day,
is here both for your money gifts
and for what you would like to say.
So please drop in a token of love
for this special Groom & Bride,
as they start their life united by God
to live forever side by side.
Wishing Well 16
A home together we already share,
Furnished with love, and pride, and care,
So when we look at all we’ve got,
We really do not need a lot.
So we’d like to ask, if you don’t mnd,
For a gift of another kind,
Instead of searching for inspiration,
You can simply make a cash donation,
As you place your gift in the wishing well,
You make two wishes, but do not tell,
One for us and one for you,
And trust that both will soon come true.
Wishing Well 17
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!
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!
Wishing Well 18
Whilst in a foreign land,
(Brides Name) had many adventures grand,
None of which could ever compare,
To the wonderful love
That she and (Grooms Name) share.
The couple will marry
whilst travelling once more,
And her family shall come
to foreign shore.(Bride) and (Groom)
have considered the options,
as guests bearing gifts,
will come to considerable exertions.
And the airline restrictions
will also apply,
to the bride and the groom
when home they must fly.
In the place of a gift
With traditional style,
A paper gift would
bring many a smile.
A gift of paper has many a meaning,
it may be cash,
or a voucher for their favourite store,
the promise of a special favour,
Whenst the couple return
to settle into their lives
as husband and wife.
Many thanks for your consideration,
in receiving this request,
as surely you will realise
It's definitely for the best.
Wishing Well 19
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!
Wishing Well 20
Now we are to be Mr & Mrs
We don't need a wedding list of dishes
We have two kettles, two toasters, a microwave
We require a house for which we have to save.
If you would like to give us a monetary gift this 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.
Wishing Well 21
In our house we have the things
that living together normally brings
most household items we've already bought
and because of this reason we thought
A wishing well would be great
(only if guests wish to participate)
A gift of money is placed in an envelope
so in the future we hope
to furnish our home to its very best
and always remember it was due to our guests.
Wishing Well 22
A wishing-well will await
to help build loving nest...
If instead a gift would buy,
ask our Mums - they know best
- and details that can end your quest!
Wishing Well 23
For adding to our wishing well,
we'd like to thank you now -
also just for being here
to share our mutual vow...
Wishing Well 24
Love the joy of choosing gifts?
Wrap the chosen captive?
If thoughts elude in this regard
... money is attractive
Wishing Well 25
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 donation to our wishing well would be great
but only if you wish to participate.
Wishing Well 26
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 but do not tell
If it is however a gift you find,
Please feel assured
We will not mind
Wishing Well 27
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.
Wishing Well 28
Our house is quite complete now
We’ve been together long
So please consider this request
And do not take it wrong
A wishing well will be present
On the day we wed
And if you choose in lieu of a present
You may give a monetary gift instead
Make a wish upon your gift
and be careful as you do
because as the tradition goes
your wishes may come true.
Wishing Well 29
Our home is quite complete now
As we’ve been together for so long
Ao please consider our request
And do not take us wrong
A delicate request it is
We hope you understand
As it will give our married life
A wonderful helping hand
So on this special day of ours
The day that we will wed
Don’t hunt for special gifts
But give a money gift instead
As you drop this envelope
With your gift great or small
Remember to make your wish for us
And we thank you one and all.
Wishing Well 30
For a long time now we have lived in sin
We have all the stuff, even a rubbish bin
A gift from you would be just swell
But we would rather a donation to our wishing well
Don’t go overboard or rob the banks
Just a small donation and we will say thanks
So come to our wedding and party away
Help make this a wonderful day!
Wishing Well 31
We’ve been together a few years now
We have pots and pans and linen and towels
We have glasses and toasters, really quite a few
So instead of more gifts we suggest this to you
If it doesn’t offend and it won’t send you running
What we would really appreciate is a gift of money
We know choosing gifts can be such a pain
And this way there is no chance of bringing the same.
Treasure Chest 1
Many of our guests have enquired
For a gift idea to be inspired
Like many young couples today
We have most things anyway
If you would like to give, it is our request
For something for our treasure chest
A gift of money you can afford
Is just what we need you can be assured
Without the help of this little pun
Our honeymoon would not be much fun
Treasure Chest 2
This little rhyme may be sublime
For some of our wedding guests
And what we ask is a difficult task
But we're having two money chests.
Money Tree 1
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 money tree.
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 bless our tree,
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!
Money Tree 2
This is written on a daisy shaped paper pocket:
If you are having trouble finding just the gift for us,
This may prove a solution with a minimum of fuss.
Just pop your gift inside the flower and pin it to our tree,
And make a wish for happiness forever ours to be.
Money Tree 3
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 on our Giving Tree.
Money Tree 4
So what do you get for the bride & groom,
Whose house needs some things in every room?
Some things are large, some things are small,
Some things they just don't really need at all!
For those things small this happy two,
Have supplied a gift registry for you.
For those things large a wish tree's the way,
To say congratulations on the big day.
An envelope will be provided for those who have room,
To give a monetary wish to the bride and groom.
A wish tree will be on display at the reception hall,
To attach your wishes, for the couple, with love from all.
Money Tree 5
As we are already established, we would appreciate a monetary gift.
It will contribute towards the bigger things we need.
Should you prefer this option a money tree will be provided at the
reception.
Money Tree 6
Money doesn't grow on trees...
We're sure you get the drift.
It will, however, pave our way
'blooming' as our gift!
Bird Cage 1
(Bride) & (Groom)'s worldly possessions are plentiful as such,
on their wedding present list there isn't really much.
Their home is quite complete, as they've been together so long
So please consider our request , but do not take it wrong.
On this special day, the day they'll be wed
There's a register for gifts, or give money instead.
A gilded cage will be on display at the reception hall
To deposit your wishes for the couple with love from all.
An envelope will be provided for those who have room
To bestow a gift upon the bride & groom.
This delicate request, we hope you understand
Please ponder over this, to give their married life a hand.
