Wishing Well Wedding!

Weddings are expensive and you would like to ask your guest for money instead of gifts but you don't know how to ask. Here are some examples of wording you can use for your wishing well:

Wishing Well #1
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,
Because as the well's tradition goes,
your wish 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 the money fall.

Wishing Well #2
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 #3
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 #4
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

Wishing Well #5
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.
