A trip as a wedding present

Money as a wedding present

Many couples getting married already have a fully equipped home, so it can be difficult to think of things they actually need. That’s when the idea of asking for money towards a honeymoon or something else usually comes up. How do you write this on the wedding invitation – perhaps with a rhyme? Below are some tips on several rhymes that creative members have shared in the Forum here on brollopsguiden.se!

Contribution towards a trip:

“We can easily say that we don’t need anything else.
Your gift is simply being by our side and giving us a celebration we’ll remember for a long time.
We’d love to travel abroad, where it’ll just be husband and wife.
So if you’d still like to give us a gift, a contribution towards the trip would be perfect, we promise!"By bigganv

" A juicer and a blender, napkin rings and platters,
a toaster and a painting – and towels for the spa.
We already have all of the above and plenty more besides,
so we’d rather not be asked for anything like that.
Because we’ve already gone shopping and bought everything we need –
so much so that our cupboards are almost overflowing.
The only things we’re missing are the sun and a beach,
a drink with a parasol – tanning hand in hand.
So that’s why we’d like to receive a travel grant,
so we can go on our honeymoon – just the two of us.” By Ziloda

“Practical kitchenware and crockery are fine, but there are other things we’d rather have.
Experiencing something together is the best thing; a bit of money for our trip is what we’d like most.” By tricky_r

“Our greatest wish is to become husband and wife,
and for family and friends to be there to witness it.
We thought we’d offer a little tip on
how to sort out any gift dilemmas in a flash.
We’ve mulled it over and thought it through,
and thoroughly examined our household.
It’s easy to see
that we don’t need anything else!
Your presence is more than enough,
but if you’d like to celebrate our day even more,
money for a honeymoon could brighten our future!"By brud2007

"If you’d like to give a gift,
we’d love to see the world.
A small contribution towards a trip is what we’d like most of all,
but the most important thing for us is that YOU join us as our guest!” By pebbex

“Our home is overflowing with abundance;
we’re not in any material need.
Something we’d really love to
do is listen to the sound of the waves.
A contribution towards a fantastic trip,
so we can go abroad and learn Chinese,
would be absolutely brilliant,
and would be received with great enthusiasm!” By Lovisa

Contribution to a cause of your choice:

“We don’t wish for any presents right now for our life together;
instead, on the wedding day itself, we’ll offer you another option:
a piggy bank where you can pop in any amount of money you like.
To spare you any performance anxiety or second thoughts,
it’s also good for the environment to do away with the tradition of giving cash in envelopes,
and the main thing for us is that you share our day.” By kramboas

Contribution to the celebration:

“Our greatest wish is to become husband and wife,
and for family and friends to be there to witness it.
We’ve mulled it over and thought it through,
and thoroughly examined our household.
It’s easy to see
that we don’t need anything more!
So what we’d like most of
all is a little something towards this celebration.” By karlsson-linda

A rhyme in English:

“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” Source: youandyourwedding.co.uk

“More than just kisses so far we’ve shared,
Our home has been built with love and care,
Most things we need we’ve already got,
And there’s not much more room in our home!
We thought a wishing well would be lovely,
(But only if you’d like to take part),
A gift of money is placed in the well,
Then make a wish – but shhh, don’t 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, we’re sure,
That one day soon you’ll get what you wished for.
Please don’t be offended by this sort of request,
As our day is made simply by having you as our guest.”Source: youandyourwedding.co.uk

"To save you the trouble of looking, shopping or buying.
Here’s an idea – we hope you’ll enjoy giving it a go.
Come to our wedding to wish us both well.
And bring this little sack to throw into our wishing well.
Fill it with paper – any colour will do; gold is our favourite, but silver will do too.
Now that we’ve spared you all that hassle,
we hope you’ll come and celebrate with us.”Source: youandyourwedding.co.uk

"Now that we’re to be Mr & Mrs
, we don’t need a wedding list of crockery
. We’ve got two kettles, two toasters, two microwaves
; we need a house, for which we have to save.
If you’d like to give us a gift,
a cheque or vouchers would really help us out
. We like to think of it as our ‘wishing well’
, which we know will be filled with your love.”Source: youandyourwedding.co.uk

"Because at first we lived in sin
, we’ve got the sheets and a rubbish bin
. A gift from you would be swell
, but we’d prefer a donation to our Wishing Well."
