 Wording
suggestions: gift list
Your
guests will want to mark your
marriage by giving you a gift.
A well worded paragraph, either
printed in the invitation or
on a seperate card, will save
you from a lifetime of dusting
those green frog ornaments auntie
Bess thought you'd treasure!
We have compiled some options
to cover traditional gift lists,
and also the sensitive subject
of asking for monetary gifts.
We hope you find these useful.
01:
Registered list
Your presence at the wedding
is more
important to us than presents!
However, if you would like to
buy
a gift we have a gift list at
[xxx].
You may order on-line, by telephone
or in person.
Our gift lift number is: [xxxx]
and is open
from 12th May 2008.
02:
Cash gifts
Your
presence is present enough,
but if you would like to give
a gift,
cash gifts would be greatly
appreciated.
or
As we have been sharing a home
for some time
we have decided not to have
a traditional gift list,
if you would like to mark the
occasion any
monetary gifts would be greatly
appreciated.
03:
Cash gifts,
specific purchase
As we have been sharing a home
for some time
we have decided not to have
a traditional gift list.
Instead we are asking for contributions
to
our married life together in
the form of
monetary contributions for [our
honeymoon,
which will be our holiday of
a lifetime].

04:
Vouchers
Your presence is present
enough,
but if you would like
to mark the occasion,
[xxx] vouchers would
be greatly appreciated.
or
As we live outside the
UK we have been unable
to set up a gift registry.
Should you wish to give
us
a gift for our home,
there are a few things
we
would like from [name
of shop], so [name of
shop]
vouchers would be much
appreciated.
or
As
we have been sharing
a home for some time
we have decided not
to have a traditional
gift list.
Instead we are asking
for contributions to
our

in the form of [xxx]
gift vouchers.
You can purchase these
online, by phone or
in store in person.
Thank you in advance.
