Wedding words

Ok so due to some people telling us how rude they think a wishing well is,we thought we would include something with the invites. We are wanting To some how say That if you are wishing to give a gift but are unsure of what to get then a Myers gift vouchers would be .......and im stuck hahaha

Do you think this is ok just we dont want to offend people and dont want then to feel thay have to get something

Also we are not inviting kids as its pool side ect but how do we add that to the invites?? Most know already and are happy bout it as it means most of then get to have time out with their husbands ect but i would still like to add it to the invite somehow

we had a little poem asking people to if the wish put money towards our holiday, most people understand that if you are already living together that you dont need all the house stuff and are happy to get you something you will use.

as for the no children i would explain that it is poolside therefore having children there could be a safety hazard.

HTH

Go to myers and register for a wedding list. You can actually instruct myers to advise a voucher is appreciated to go towards "x, y & z" and then just let people know there's a registry at myers.

For the kids, I'd be tempted to say something like "We want you to enjoy our day as much as we plan to. We don't want you to be worrying about unfenced pool area, and suggest children stay safe at home" maybe?

I googled to be honest :lol: and then played with the words to make it suit.
I can not remember what ours was but it said something like, you attending is our gift but should you wish to still purchase us something we would love a Myer voucher for such and such.....

As for no kids, I would just add a note saying as the venue is not suitable, please no kids.

All the best xox

Thanks ladies This is a great help as i really had no idea what to say lol I dont want to be rude ect Thankyou :)

Yep I agree with everyone else, do a gift registry at Myers and you can nominate your gift card amounts, then just note the registry # on the invites. For the children, we wrote 'Adults only reception but we can recommend some fantastic babysitters' but I was lucky enough to know a lot of girls through work who were able to babysit. Good luck - and as long as you prepare yourself for the fact that someone will always have a whinge about some aspect or another, but it's your day and you can do it exactly as you want :)

We didn't add kids names to the invites and if people wanted to know why kids weren't on there they could ask... we had told most people why we didn't want kids there though (ours was also by unfenced water)

As for the vouchers... i agree with all the PP. I googled poems for our invites.
