WISHING WELL WORDING

In our house we have the things
That living together normally brings
Most household items we’ve already bought
And because of this reason we thought
A wishing well would be great
(Only if guests wish to participate)
A gift of money is placed in an envelope
So in the future we hope
To furnish our home to its very best
And always remember it was
due to our guests

 


We don’t want to offend but we have it all,
all household goods and so much more.
To save you shopping, sit back and rest,
a gift of currency is our request.

To support us on our special day you may wish to follow with tradition and bring a gift. Or alternatively you may like to help us make our honeymoon a little more special. For this reason we have chosen a wedding wishing well. The wishing well will be at the reception where we can receive your best wishes and contribution
 

POEMS AND QUOTES

A small quote or poem to your invitation will add a lovely personal touch.

*
If I had a star for every time you made me smile,
I'd hold the universe in my hands.

*
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides

*
This day I will marry my best friend, the one I laugh with, live for, love

*
As our marriage brings new meaning to love,
so our love brings new meaning to life

*
An answered prayer he is to me.
My greatest joy she will always be.
And so this day we'll pledge our love
In front of friends, family and God above.

*
A friendship that was shared by two has grown into a love so true.

*
Some people come into our lives, leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never ever the same

*
Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale.
 


When to send out the Invitations

The general rule is that wedding invitations go out six to eight weeks prior to the wedding, with the RSVP date set three weeks before the wedding date. When you have guests that are travelling from overseas, invitations may go out up to eight to ten weeks in advance.
Save the date cards can be sent anytime in advance of your wedding invitations to allow guests who have a long way to travel to make arrangements.
