How to politely ask for money instead of a wedding gift?
When choosing a poem take into consideration how much space you have for it.
If you want to include more extra information on your insert, we suggest to go with a shorter text.
poem 1
We know it isn’t traditional,
It’s not the way it’s done
But instead of pots and pans
We’d like a little fun!
So if you’d like to give us a gift to celebrate
Some help towards our honeymoon
We would really appreciate!
The choice is yours and we would like to say
That the best gift we could receive
Is you here on our special day!
poem 2
The most important gift to us
Is having you share in our special day.
But if you wish to contribute
In some other way,
We would love a few pennies
To put in our pot
For honeymoon trip
After tying the knot.
Please remember what means the most,
Is that you’re with us to raise a toast!
poem 3
We know its not traditional
And it’s not the way it’s done,
But rather than a wedding list
We’d love a bit of sun.
So if you’d like to give us a gift
And send us on our way,
A donation to our honeymoon
Would really make our day
poem 4
The most important gift to us
Is to have you share our day,
But should you wish to contribute
In some other way,
Then to help us on our honeymoon
In our chosen paradise,
A little extra spending money
Would be really nice.
poem 5
We don’t have a list of pots and pans,
Just hopes and dreams
and honeymoon plans.
If giving a gift is on your mind,
Then a contribution would be kind.
poem 6
If a gift is on your mind,
A contribution would be kind.
It will help us more than words can say
To celebrate our special day!
poem 7
Much happiness and laughter we share
Our home has been made with loving care
Most things we need we’ve already got
And in our home we can’t fit a lot!
A Post Box we thought would be great
But only if you wish to participate
A gift of vouchers, or even money
We would sincerely appreciate
Then we could replace the old with the new,
We could then look back and say
It was all thanks to you!
poem 8
We are sending you this invitation
In hope you will join our celebration
But if a gift is your intention
May we take the time to mention
We already have a kettle and toaster,
Crockery, dinner mats and matching coasters.
So rather than something we’ve already got
We would appreciate money for our honeymoon pot.
But most importantly we request
That you join us as our wedding guest.
poem 9
The love of family and friends
Bring happiness that never ends
Each one of you as guests we’ll treasure
You’ll fill our day with so much pleasure
While wedding presents are so nice
Your presence really will suffice
But if a gift is on your mind
Your contribution would be kind
We are saving to buy a home together as you know,
Each welcome gift will help it grow
But the greatest gift is that you’ll say
You’d love to share our wedding day.
poem 10
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 there is always the option
To just give cash!
We hope you don’t find
Our request to be funny
But we really would appreciate
A gift of money.
poem 11
We haven’t got a wedding list
the reason we’ll explain
is to save you all the hassle
as shopping is a pain
We’ve been together for a while
And have most things we need
So vouchers, cash or cheques
would be gratefully received
The choice is yours, so please don’t fuss
the most important thing of all
Is that you come and celebrate with us!
But, if you’d like to contribute,
to our soft & cosy rooms
Our heartfelt thanks go out to you
with love the Bride & Groom
poem 12
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,
Like a toaster, kettle, pans and pots.
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 do not 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 were sure,
That one day soon you’ll get
What you wished for!
poem 13
Our life together has already begun,
We have almost everything under the sun.
If you were thinking of buying a gift,
A little extra money would 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!.
poem 14
If you were thinking of giving a gift
To help us on our way
A gift of cash towards our honeymoon
Would really make our day
If however it’s a gift you find
Please be assured we will not mind
poem 15
We’ve lived together quite a while
And all the bills are paid
We’ve got our plates, our pots and pans
Our plans have all been made
So if you’d like to give a gift
To help us celebrate
Some money for a honeymoon
We would appreciate
poem 16
We’ve been together a year or two,
We don’t really need anything new.
Yet if a gift is your intention,
We thought that we would mention,
We’d love some pennies to put together,
To save for something that we will treasure.
And just remember, what means the most,
Is that you’re with us to raise a toast!
poem 17
We’ve lived together 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
And not the way it’s done,
But rather than a wedding list
We’d love a bit of 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.
But the choice is really up to you
And we would like to say,
That the best gift we would receive
Is you here on our special day!
poem 18
We’ve been together for a few years
And have a lovely home,
There are not too many items now
That we don’t already own.
So if your thoughts were on a gift,
Your presence will suffice.
But if you really feel the need
A small donation would be nice.
The choice is really up to you
And we would like to say
We hope you come and enjoy yourselves
And have a lovely day!
poem 19
We really hope you can join us
On our special day
You’ll make our memories complete
In every single way.
We do not have a gift list
And we know you’ll understand
Our house and contents are complete
With pots and plates and pans
But should you really want to give
And celebrate this way
A gift of money would be lovely
for a holiday.
poem 20
The love of family and friends
Bring happiness that never ends
Each one of you as guests we’ll treasure
You’ll fill our day with so much pleasure
While wedding presents are so nice
Your presence really will suffice
But if a gift is on your mind
Your contribution would be kind
We have a fund to ease cash flow
Each contribution will help it grow
But the greatest gift is that you’ll say
You’d love to share our wedding day
poem 21
A little note just to say,
What gifts we love for our wedding day.
We have a home and we have a car,
But together we have never travelled far.
Although to have you with us
On our wedding day
Is the best gift of all in every way.
But if you would like
To add to our honeymoon pot
As a gift to us after we tie the knot.
poem 22
As we are blessed with material things,
And all that living together brings,
Your presence as a guest
Is all that we request.
But if a gift is your intention,
We thought that we would mention,
What we would really like for our special day,
Is to top it off with a holiday!
We’d love some pennies to put together,
For a time away that we will treasure.
poem 23
We’re tying the knot
And we just can’t wait,
We knew it would happen
On our very first date.
As we’ve got our home
Dressed up with accessories,
We don’t really think
That a wedding gift list is necessary.
But if you did want to give something
To help us on our way,
Some money for our honeymoon
Would truly make our day!
poem 24
We hope you share our wedding day,
And all the joy it brings,
As for wedding presents
We already have most things.
We’re saving for a rainy day
In our new chapter in life,
Maybe a little trip away
As husband and wife.
So if you would like to give a gift
We would just like to say,
A small donation to our fund
Would really make our day.
poem 25
Name and Name are getting wed
A happy event it must be said.
They are beginning a new life
Looking ahead to be husband and wife.
To help them set up home anew
Now they’ve found pastures new.
To buy sofas, beds and wardrobes too
A gift of money they request of you.
But, most importantly, they request,
That you turn up as their wedding guest.
poem 26
Unsure in our minds, of what we may need,
Not wanting to offend, or show any greed,
We have the essentials to be living in sin,
A kettle, a toaster, and even a bin.
So, money is requested, in order to proceed,
With life’s little luxuries one day we might need.
poem 27
An exciting time is coming our way,
and we can’t wait for you
to share our special day!
We do but have just one request,
and that’s for you to be our guest.
We don’t expect presents or gifts galore,
Laughter and fun is the aim of the day,
so no amount of presents will take this away.
We have our pots, we have our pans
but what we need is a helping hand
So for you we have another request,
after a year of planning a wedding….
we need a rest!
If a gift however you’d like to give,
then please think of us
A honeymoon is just what we need,
so a donation would be gratefully received
But don’t forget above the rest,
we just want you to be our guest!
poem 28
We know it’s traditional to write a list
But in this case there is a slight twist
Our home is complete with the usual stuff
And the things that we have are good enough
Our dream is to honeymoon in a foreign land
And walk along the beach hand in hand
We hope you don’t think of us as being rude
And that our request is not misconstrued
But a contribution to our honeymoon pot
Would be appreciated such a lot
But the most important thing to say
Is that you are there to celebrate our day!

Your presence at our wedding is all that we wish for.
However, if you would like to give a gift, we would be very grateful for a small cash donation towards our honeymoon.
text 32
Please do not feel obligated to buy us a gift, all that we are expecting is you. If you would like to give something, a contribution towards our honeymoon would be greatly appreciated
text 33
No registry here!
We’ve lived together for long enough so have all the cutlery we need! Your presence is enough of a present to us.
With that said, we know people often include a charming poem about money here, so full disclosure: any gifts of cash will be spent on cocktails on a beach for when we financially recover enough to book a honeymoon!
text 34
No gifts please, your presence is truly enough.
text 35
Please no gifts.
The gift of your presence is all we ask.
