Wedding Invitation Poems: Asking For Money Gracefully

Wedding gift poems are a polite and creative way to ask for money instead of physical gifts. They are ideal for couples who already live together and have most home essentials. Wedding money poems can be included in the wedding invitation or as an insert and are a great way to let guests know about your wedding registry. They can be humorous or formal, long or short—whatever suits your style as a couple.

Poems for couples who already live together

Poem 1

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.

Poem 2

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 in a card would truly make our day!

Poem 3

We haven’t included a gift list in our invite,

As we have everything — it just wasn’t right…

To ask for more things for the life we lead,

When a reliable new car is just what we need!

If you were thinking of a gift for us to start our married life,

Some money would make us a very happy husband and wife!

Poem 4

We’ve lived together quite a while

And all our 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 5

We’ve lived together for a while,

And our home is kitted out in style.

But a new car would be really smashing.

So, if you’d like to chip some cash in,

[Honeymoon fund name] is the place to do it.

It’s all online – there’s nothing to it!

Poems for couples buying a new home

Poem 1:

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!

Poem 2:

We'll soon be saying 'I Do',

And for a gift, if you haven't got a clue,

Then we'd really love some cash,

So that for our home, we can splash out,

On a cosy new bed for two!

Poem 3:

A new home is a place for memories to be made and dreams to come true,

A fresh start and a new beginning,

A place to call your own,

Congratulations on your new home!

Poem 4:

A house is a place with bedrooms, libraries, and a kitchen, too

But a home is much more than mortar and brick,

More than just where the walls are thick.

A home is where love is, and where happiness thrives,

A place to rest your head,

May your new home bring you joy for years to come.

Poem 5:

You've got the keys! How exciting!

Here's to new beginnings and amazing memories in your new place.

May your home be filled with love and laughter,

Congratulations on your new home!

Poems for honeymoon contributions

Poem 1

We’ve just moved home and have filled it with stuff,

From books to sofas, we’ve certainly got enough!

Instead of more wine glasses, we’d really love some cash,

So that we can book a perfect honeymoon and head off in a dash.

A romantic beach break would really do the trick,

As soon as we can afford it, we’ll be on that plane quick!

Poem 2

We can’t wait to spend our wedding day with you,

We’ve been planning hard and spending money for a good year or two.

As we’re keen to start our married life in style,

An amazing honeymoon would really make us smile.

Instead of a gift list from a high street shop,

We’d really love some money so on a beach we can flop!

Your financial donation would truly mean a lot,

So thank you for contributing to our honeymoon pot!

Poem 3

In order to make our dreams come true,

We’d love to go on a honeymoon for a week or two.

Instead of a dinner set, a vase or a bowl,

A financial contribution would make our wedding experience whole.

We’ve created a bank account to save our honeymoon money,

We really appreciate it, and we can’t wait to go somewhere sunny!

Poem 4

We’ll be [husband and wife/ husband and husband / wife and wife] 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 to 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!

Poem 5

We’re looking forward to seeing you on our very special day,

We hope that it will be perfect in every single way.

As a couple, we know that love is all we need forever,

But a honeymoon after our wedding would be great — however…

We’ve not got the money to take this very special trip,

And we hope that you can help us fulfil our dream, whether it be on a plane or a ship!

Some money would really be the perfect gift to give,

Instead of new pots and pans, for the house in which we live!

Poems for charity donations

We'd love your well wishes and congratulations too,

No gifts are necessary, all we really want is you!

But if you’d like to give a gift to help us on our way,

A charity donation would really make our day.

Well, the time has finally come,

We're about to tie the knot.

If you could spend the day with us,

We'd like that—a lot!

Your company is all we need,

Come and join in the celebrations,

Have some cake, a glass of fizz,

We have no need for gifts,

As toasters—we have many!

But there's a charity close to our hearts

Who would appreciate a penny.

If you could give to them,

That's the best gift we could ask for.

Then bring yourself to our wedding

With a smile, and nothing more.

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, a lot!

But the most important thing to say,

Is that you are there to celebrate our day!

We can’t wait to party with you!

And if you’d like to give a gift too,

We’ve made a wish list with [charity name].

Poems for couples who don't want gifts

We're sending out this invitation,

And hope you will join our celebration.

If sending a gift is your intention,

In modesty we would like to mention,

We have already got a kettle and a toaster,

Crockery, dinner mats and coasters,

So rather than something we have already got,

Please give us money for our savings pot.

But, most importantly, we request,

That you turn up as our wedding guest.

We haven't got a gift list, for all of you to see,

Because as you all 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.

We've been together a few years now;

We have pots and pans and linen and towels;

We have glasses and toasters, really quite a few;

So instead of more gifts, we suggest this to you;

If it doesn't offend and it won't send you running;

What we would really appreciate is quite simply money.

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've been together for a while,

And have a lovely home.

There aren't too many things,

That we don't already own.

So please don't be offended,

And please don't think we're brash.

But if thoughts were on a present,

We would much prefer the cash.

But the choice is really up to you,

And we would like to say,

That the best gift we could receive,

Is you, here, on our special day.
