What's the best and most simple way to inform guests there will be a wishing well at the wedding?

Hi there,

Most couples choose to include a card along side the RSVP card with a short and quirky poem/ verse  gently suggesting that as opposed to a wedding gift, the couple prefer a monetary gift that will go towards for example a much needed honeymoon or home deposit.

These days, adding in a wishing well card is not unusual. 

All the the best with your planning!

Hello!

A majority of my brides opt for a seperate wishing well card with a poem type wording on it to advise guests there will be a wishing well there.  They generally always leave the option for guests to bring a gift but it at least lets the guests know if they want to avoid the craziness of gift selection they can opt for the wishing well instead. :)

Congratulations!

Hi there,

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. The best way to inform guests of a wishing well is by including a wishing well card along with your RSVP card. There are lots of cute little poems floating around the web. I like to personalise them a little bit so that they are more suited to the couple, rather than the generic ones that just sound like "don't bother getting us a gift, we just want your money". I love helping out with the wording in these cases, often the guests get back to the couple with a chuckle because they know that the poem is true to them.

I'd love to chat with you about how I can help you out with what you need :)

Hello! If you would like to respectfully ask for a gift of money, instead of a 'boxed gift' at your wedding, the simplest way is to inlcude some instructions when you send out your invitations. We offer matching Wishing Well cards online which are a sweet addition to your wedding invitations.

Happy planning! :)

Hi!

If you find the wishing well poems circulating the internet too cheesy, I recommend just a simple line either at the bottom of your invitation or on a separate card saying "There will be a wishing well at the reception for those who wish to congratulate us in this way."

You could say what you will use the money for (such as saving for a new home etc), but if you list something that doesn't align with your guests' values then they might not feel as good about giving to that cause. I've had friends complain to me that they don't want to spend money on someone else's lavish honeymoon when they themselves can't afford to go on a holiday. Sweet & simple wording for the card is best.

If there's anything else I can help with, please let me know!

Cheers,

Hi There,

We can make you  wishing well card to go with your invites. We also do packages, which means you pay your invite price and then any added stationery on top is marked down to just $1. Wishing wells are very common and lots of people do a seprate card along with thier invite which includes a nice poem explaining your prefference of money. Youd be suprised how many people prefer giving money than trying to figure out what gift to buy!

Hi,

I find a sweet little card included in your invitation suite the best way. I have printed these as a line on the bottom of the invitation itself, but the most common way is the card.

Good luck!

Hello,

Most brides opt for a seperate poem card to be sent out with their invitation, this is usually a much nicer way to say you would rather money contributions than gifts, we have invitation packages that include this card. Another option is to just write a simple 'wishing well contributions are welcomed but not mandatory' on the bottom of the invitation. If you would like to send us an email we can send you our packages that includes a seperate poem card. Speak soon!
