It may feel indelicate, but with so many couples already living together and feel that they do not need a wedding gift list or items for the home, wedding poems are far more common now.
Whether you would like a donation to a honeymoon fund or or simply just want your guests to be present, there is a poem for all.
Take a look below and see which one would suit you, or click the headings to go straight to that section.
None Required
WE'RE EXCITED FOR YOUR PRESENCE, NOT PRESENTS.
YOUR PRESENCE IS TRULY ENOUGH.
WE’D LOVE YOUR WELL WISHES
AND CONGRATULATIONS TOO,
NO GIFTS ARE NECESSARY,
ALL WE REALLY WANT IS YOU!
WE SIMPLY ASK FOR OUR GUESTS TO ATTEND OUR SPECIAL DAY.
EXPERIENCES AND SHARED MOMENTS ARE MORE MEMORABLE THAN MATERIAL GIFTS.
YOUR PRESENCE AT OUR WEDDING IS THE GREATEST GIFT YOU COULD GIVE US.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO CELEBRATING WITH YOU.
THE GREATEST GIFT WE COULD RECEIVE IS YOUR PRESENCE ON OUR WEDDING DAY,
PLEASE DO NOT FEEL OBLIGED TO GIVE ANYTHING ELSE.
YOUR PRESENCE IS THE ONLY GIFT THAT
WE REQUIRE ON OUR MOST SPECIAL DAY.
Honeymoon
WE TREASURE YOUR PRESENCE OVER PRESENTS;
A HONEYMOON CONTRIBUTION IS A KIND EXTRA.
THE MOST IMPORTANT GIFT TO US IS HAVING YOU SHARE OUR SPECIAL DAY,
BUT IF YOU WISH TO CONTRIBUTE IN SOME OTHER WAY,
A PENNIE TOWARDS OUR FAMILY MOON WOULD GO A LONG LONG WAY,
IN HELPING US MAKE MEMORIES WE'LL CHERISH FOR EVER AND A DAY.
WE’RE SO EXCITED TO SAY “I DO”
AND EVEN MORE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.
YOU CELEBRATING WITH US MEANS THE MOST,
AND TO THAT WE WILL RAISE A TOAST.
BUT IF YOU’D LIKE TO MAKE A GESTURE,
A LITTLE TOWARDS OUR HONEYMOON,
WOULD ADD TO OUR ADVENTURE.
OR SOMETHING FOR OUR HOME TOGETHER,
FROM OUR WISH LIST, TO SHARE FOREVER.
OR SHOULD YOU WISH TO DO YOUR OWN THING,
A GIFT OF YOUR CHOOSING WOULD MEAN EVERYTHING.
AS WE'VE LIVED TOGETHER FOR A YEAR OR TWO,
WE REALLY DON'T NEED ANYTHING NEW.
BUT IF YOU WERE THINKING OF GETTING US A SMALL WEDDING GIFT,
SOME MONEY FOR OUR FUTURE WOULD'NT GO AMISS.
WE KNOW IT’S NOT TRADITIONAL, IT’S NOT THE WAY IT’S DONE,
INSTEAD OF A REGISTRY, WE’D LIKE A BIT OF FUN!
WE’VE BEEN TOGETHER QUITE A WHILE, AND ALL THE BILLS ARE PAID.
WE’VE GOT OUR POTS AND PANS, OUR PLANS HAVE ALL BEEN MADE.
SO IF YOU’D LIKE TO GIVE A GIFT, TO HELP US CELEBRATE,
SOMETHING TOWARDS OUR “HONEYMOON” IS WHAT WE WOULD APPRECIATE!
THE BEST GIFT TO US IS YOUR SUPPORT AND PRESENCE ON OUR WEDDING DAY.
HOWEVER, SHOULD YOU WISH TO GIVE US SOMETHING,
A CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS OUR HONEYMOON WOULD BE LOVELY.
WE’VE LIVED TOGETHER FOR QUITE A WHILE, WITH ALL OUR POTS AND PANS,
AND AS WE DON’T NEED HOMELY GIFTS WE’VE GOT ANOTHER PLAN.
BUT IF YOU’D LIKE TO GIVE A GIFT AND SEND US ON OUR WAY,
A DONATION TO OUR HONEYMOON WOULD REALLY MAKE OUR DAY!
THE HAPPY COUPLE WOULD LIKE TO SAY,
BEING AT OUR WEDDING WILL MAKE OUR DAY.
WE HAVE NO NEED FOR POTS AND PANS,
JUST HOPES AND DREAMS FOR FUTURE PLANS.
SO IF A GIFT IS ON YOUR MIND,
A CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE KIND.
WE WILL SAVE THIS IN OUR LITTLE POT,
FOR OUR HONEYMOON TRIP AFTER TYING THE KNOT.
THE GREATEST GIFT WE COULD RECEIVE IS YOUR PRESENCE ON OUR WEDDING DAY,
PLEASE DO NOT FEEL OBLIGED TO GIVE ANYTHING ELSE.
HOWEVER, SHOULD YOU FEEL INCLINED, WE ARE VERY MUCH
LOOKING FORWARD TO A HONEYMOON AND ANY CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS
THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THE PRESENCE OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL.
HOWEVER IF IT IS YOUR WISH TO BLESS US WITH A GIFT,
WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A CONTRIBUTION TO OUR HONEYMOON FUND.
WE KNOW IT’S NOT TRADITIONAL
AND NOT THE WAY IT’S DONE,
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.
Money
AS WE’VE LIVED TOGETHER FOR A YEAR OR TWO,
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 REALLY HAVE ENOUGH,
PLENTY OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS…SO MUCH STUFF!
TO SAVE YOU SHOPPING, SIT BACK AND REST,
A GIFT OF CURRENCY IS OUR REQUEST.
DON’T GO OVERBOARD OR ROB ANY BANKS.
ANY AMOUNT WILL MAKE US SMILE WITH THANKS!
WE’RE MOST EXCITED ABOUT SPENDING THE DAY WITH YOU,
BUT IF YOU ARE THINKING OF A GIFT AND DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO ...
WE WOULD LOVE A FEW PENNIES TO PUT IN OUR POT,
FOR OUR HOME RENOVATIONS AFTER TYING THE KNOT.
Home
AS WE’RE GETTING MARRIED, WE THOUGHT 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!
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!
[NAME AND NAME] ARE GETTING WED
A HAPPY EVENT IT MUST BE SAID.
THEY ARE BEGINNING A NEW LIFE
NO LONGER DO THEY HAVE A NIGHTLIFE.
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.
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.
With all these options I'm confident that you will find all that you need to put on your invitations and if you are unsure you can opt to leave it off, most guests would then make an assumption to bring along cash in a card to the wedding day itself.
