Welcome to the modern wedding, gone are the days where you had to buy a gift for the bride and groom and hope to god that they didn’t receive 3 toasters, 5 blenders and 7 casserole dishes!!! Not to say that there is anything wrong with that but now there is the magic of a wishing well.
Personally I think wishing wells, treasure chests, bird cages are a fantastic idea and that way the wedding couple can use the gifts from the above methods to help start a new life together. And all it takes is a little note with your wedding invitation to let your guest know that you would prefer money over gifts....and who wouldn’t. J
So in saying that I though it may be helpful to some brides to show you a few different ways that a wishing well can be worded.
Wishing Well
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!
Treasure Chest
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
Bird Cage
To save you looking shopping and buying,
Here is an idea we hope you’ll like trying!
Come to our wedding as we turn a new page,
And make some use of our Little Bird Cage.
Just put some money into a card,
Now cage your gift.....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!
