Wedding Money Poems
We’ve lived together for a year or two,
so we really don’t need anything new.
But if you were thinking of getting us a small wedding gift,
some money for our future wouldn’t go amiss.
—-
We don’t want to offend but we have it all
All household goods and so much more.
To save you shopping, sit back and rest.
A gift of currency is our request.
Don’t go overboard or rob any banks.
Any little thing will make us smile with thanks.
—-
We haven’t got a gift list for all of you to see,
because as you know we never can agree!
But if you’d like to help us start our married life,
cash or high street vouchers would save a lot of strife.
—-
As we’re getting married, we though it would be fun
to move into a brand new home – we need to get it done.
As wedding gifts are bulky and we’re a little short on space,
some money would be the ideal gift to help us buy our place!
—-
We’ve been together many years and have a lovely home.
There’s not that many items we don’t already own.
So if your thoughts were on a gift, your presence will suffice.
But if you really feel the need, donations to our home would be really nice.
—-
We’ve lived quite a while with all our pots and pans
and as we don’t need homely gifts we’ve got another plan.
We know it’s not traditional but an awful lot more fun
to have items on our wedding list to help us catch some sun.
So if you’d like to give a gift and send us on our way,
a donation to our honeymoon would really make our day.
—-
We’ll be married for the rest of our life,
in our little home made for two.
But instead of a vase or a new kitchen knife,
we’d love to fly off somewhere new.
A week on a beach would suffice and be ideal,
so instead of a gift, your contribution would help
to buy us a hotel room or a romantic meal.
