Wedding Gift Poems
Welcome to our collection of wedding gift poems – the gentle, heartfelt way to let your guests know you’d prefer a little help with your honeymoon, a house deposit, or those dream adventures you’ve been planning together.
We know asking for money can feel awkward (nobody wants to sound grabby on the happiest day of their lives!), but a short, beautifully worded poem tucked into your invitations turns the request into something warm, witty, and completely charming. These verses strike just the right note: grateful, light-hearted, and always making it clear that having your favourite people there is the greatest gift of all.
Whether you’re after something sweetly romantic, cheekily humorous, or elegantly understated, you’ll find poems here to suit every style of celebration. All of them are original, tried-and-tested with real couples, and ready to copy straight into your Daisy Chain invitations or information cards. Scroll down to discover the perfect words – because when the sentiment is this lovely, your guests will be reaching for their pens (and their wallets) with nothing but smiles.
On this day, our special day
We do not know how to say
We have a house and contents too
So presents really wouldn’t do
But if a gift you’d like to bring
Then money would be just the thing
We hope this does not cause offence
In our case it makes more sense.
We are sending out this invitation,
And hope you will join our celebration.
If to send 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 its 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 are not 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.
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.
Unsure in our minds, of what we may need,
Not wanting to offend, or show any greed,
We have the essentials to be living in sin,
A kettle, a toaster, and even a bin.
So , money is requested, in order to proceed,
With life’s little luxuries one day we might need.
More than just kisses so far we’ve shared
Our home has been made with love and care
Most things we need we’ve already got
Like a toaster and kettle, pans and pots.
A wishing well we thought would be great
(but only if you wish to participate)
A gift of money is placed in the well
Then make a wish … but do not 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!
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.
Name and Name are getting wed
A happy event it must be said.
They are beginning a new life
Looking ahead to be husband and wife.
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.
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 such a lot
But the most important thing to say
Is that you are there to celebrate our day!
Our Wedding Wish
An exciting time is coming our way,
and we can’t wait for you to share our special day!
We do but have just one request,
and that’s for you to be our guest.
We don’t expect presents or gifts galore,
Laughter and fun is the aim of the day,
so no amount of presents will take this away.
We have our pots, we have our pans
but what we need is a helping hand
So for you we have another request,
after a year of planning a wedding…. we need a rest!
If a gift however you’d like to give,
then please think of us
A honeymoon is just what we need,
so a donation would be gratefully received
But don’t forget above the rest,
we just want you to be our guest!
Your presence is the only gift we need,
To laugh, to dance, and love succeed.
No boxed-up bows or gift-wrapped loot,
Just bring your smiles and dancing boots.
But if you’d like to bless our start,
A honeymoon gift would warm our heart.
A little something for our getaway
To sip, explore and lounge all day!
No pressure though, Just come for fun,
We’ll cherish time with everyone.
Happily Ever After Fund
We’ve tied the knot with hearts so true,
A home that’s stocked from me to you.
No need for gadgets or china so fine—
We’ve got the basics, and they’re all divine!
But if you’d like to sprinkle a little more joy,
A dash of cash for our “ever after” toy.
A trip, a treat, or savings to grow—
Your kindness means the world, don’t you know?
Yet above all else, we hope you’ll agree,
The best part’s you, here celebrating with glee!
The Honeymoon Hint
We’ve danced through years with love in our stride,
Collecting teapots and pillows with pride.
Our shelves are full our fridge runs cold—
We’ve mastered the art of the cozy household!
So whisper a wish if you’re feeling so bold:
A contribution to sunsets in stories untold.
Beaches and breezes, or mountains so high—
It’d make our getaway touch the sky.
But honestly, friends, the truth we confess:
Nothing beats laughter and hugs from the best—
That’s you, on our day, in your finest dress!
No More Toasters, Please!
Alert! We’ve hit the gift saturation point,
With blenders buzzing and lamps that anoint.
We’ve got the gear for a life full of cheer,
From mixers to mops—oh, the household frontier!
If shopping’s a puzzle that twists up your brain,
Skip the store aisles and ease all the pain.
An envelope flutter with notes crisp and green
Would fuel our dreams like you’ve never seen.
Dreams of adventures or cushions anew—
But shh, the real magic? It’s sharing with you!
Our Nest Egg Nest
Like birds in a tree, we’ve built quite the nest,
With feathers of fortune and twigs of the best.
No room for more china or silverware shine—
Our cupboard’s a chorus of “all is just fine!”
If you’d care to chirp in with a feathered boon,
A spot of support for our honeymoon tune.
Or savings for sofas that cradle our sighs—
It’d lift us higher than eagles in skies.
Yet feathers aside, in this aviary fest,
Your wings at our wedding? That’s truly the best.
The Polite Purse Plea
In wedding lore, it’s toasters and ties,
But we’ve got those covered—surprise, surprise!
We’ve nested with flair, no gaps in our kit,
From duvets to dishes, we’re fully legit.
So if generosity bubbles up in your soul,
A monetary murmur could make us whole.
For jaunts overseas or a garden in bloom—
It’d chase away clouds on our marital gloom.
No offense if you pass; we’re easy to please.
Just show up with stories, bad jokes, and a squeeze!
Your presence is the only gift we need.
To laugh, to dance, and love succeed.
No boxed -up bows or gifts.
Just bring your smiles and dancing hips.
But if you’d like to bless our start.
A honeymoon gift would warm our hearts
A little something for our getaway to sip,
Explore and lounge all day!
No pressure though just come for fun
We’ll cherish the time with everyone.
