WEDDING REGISTRY WORDING EXAMPLES
Your presence at our Wedding is the greatest gift of all. However, if you wish to honour us with a gift, we have
registered a list with (shop). You can view it online by entering (reference number), or at any store.
Please be aware that gifts are not necessary. Your presence is all that is required. However, for your
convenience (bride) and (groom) have prepared a gift registry.
(Bride) and (Groom) are already blessed with much love, laughter and half a household of furniture!
Accordingly they have assembled a registry for the items they’d find most useful.
If choosing a gift is not your cup of tea, you might like to try our gift registry.
Please feel no obligation to use this list, as we do not mind if you give it a miss. You can view it online at
(website) and enter our registry ID number.
The happy couple are registered at (place)
Your love, laughter and company on our wedding day is the greatest gift of all.
However, should you wish to help us celebrate with a gift, a registry is held at (store)
Many friends and family have asked for gift suggestions.
As we already have many items to start off our new lives together, we have
created a registry with (store). The list can be viewed
online with reference number (details).
Should you wish to honour us with a gift, we hope that
our registry held at (store) will make it more convenient
for you to select something that you know we will love.
The list can be viewed online at (address) with details (details).
For guests wishing to contribute, a registry is set up at (store)
WEDDING CASH GIFT WORDING EXAMPLES
If you were thinking of giving a gift to help us on our way.
A gift of cash towards our house, would really make our day.
However, if you prefer a gift, feel free to surprise us in your own special way.
The most important thing is to have you with us on
our special day. No gifts are needed or expected, however
we have been asked what we need or would like and, if you do
wish to give us something, a little cash to spend on our
honeymoon would be very much appreciated.
We haven’t got a gift list, for all of you to see,
Because as you know, we never can agree! But if you’d
like to help us, start our married life, Cash or vouchers,
would save a lot of strife.
So what do you get for the Bride and Groom, whose house needs things in every room?
When shopping for a gift, You needn’t be rash, as there’s always the option, to just give cash!
We hope you don’t find our request to be funny. The decision is yours: To buy a present or give money.
Now you have the choice, please do not fuss.
The most important thing of all, is that you’re there to celebrate with us!
WEDDING/EVENT WORDING INSPIRATION 09/22
HONEYMOON GIFT REGISTRY WORDING EXAMPLES
A contribution towards our honeymoon fund instead of a gift is much appreciated.
For a truly memorable gift, (insert names) would love a contribution towards their honeymoon experiences,
such as dinners, spa treatments, and excursions.
Now we are to be Mr & Mrs, we don’t need a wedding list of dishes.
A holiday is what we need, so your help with this would be a great gift indeed.
So should you wish to honour us with a gift, we have registered a honeymoon registry
at (travel agency) where you can make a contribution to help us make our honeymoon
a memory that will last a lifetime.
Our wedding wouldn’t be the same without your presence.
However, when it comes to presents, please be aware that we
would appreciate a donation towards our honeymoon
fund in place of wedding gifts.
The Nearlyweds are registered for their honeymoon
and its related experiences at (registry company)
WORDING EXAMPLES FOR TELLING GUESTS IT IS AN ADULTS-ONLY WEDDING
Adults only
Adults only (exception for infants under 6 months)
As much as we would like to invite all the children of our loved ones,
we will only be able to welcome over-18s at our wedding due to budget constraints.
Children outside the bridal party are not invited for the ceremony,
but are welcome for the reception.
Due to safety reasons at our venue, we are unable to extend
this invitation to children.
Due to space constraints, we are only able to invite the children
of immediate family to our wedding.
Due to the nature of our venue, we are unable to invite
under-18s to our wedding.
Following the ceremony and drinks reception,
please join us for an adults-only reception at 5pm.
In order to meet guest number restrictions, we are only able to
extend our invitation to the children of close family and/or our wedding party.
Unfortunately, as much as we’d love to invite all of our friends’ children, we can only
accommodate a few close family children. We hope that you will understand
this decision and that you will still be able to join us on our special day.
We are only able to accommodate the children of the wedding party.
We are unable to accommodate children beyond our page boys and flower girls.
We are unable to accommodate guests under 18
WEDDING/EVENT WORDING INSPIRATION 09/22
We are very sorry, but due to restrictions at our venue, we cannot accommodate children.
We love your kids, however due to limited numbers, we hope you appreciate
that children are only invited if named.
We regret that due to cost restrictions, we are only able to invite over-18s to our wedding.
We respectfully request that under-18s do not attend the reception.
We would like our special day to be an adult-only occasion, however we would like to
open the invite up to your children at the evening reception at 7pm.
While we adore your children, our budget will only allow us to accommodate adult guests at our wedding.
KIDS
“so that parents can have a more “relaxing” night we ask that our wedding is adult only.”
Or simply “this is an adult only event” or “we ask children remain home on this occasion”.
What to Say When... Your Venue Doesn’t Allow Children
‘We are very sorry, but due to restrictions at our venue, we cannot accommodate children.’
‘Due to safety reasons at our venue, we are unable to extend this invitation to children.’
‘Due to the nature of our venue, we are unable to invite under-18s to our wedding.’
‘Our venue has a strict no-under-18s policy, so we are unable to welcome to children to the wedding.’

NON-CRINGE POEMS
If you were thinking of giving a gift to help us on our way,
a contribution towards our honeymoon would really make our day.
If you were thinking of giving a gift to help us on our way
A contribution towards our house would really make our day!
If however it’s a gift you find
Please be assured we will not mind!
We’re on our way to [destination] for a romantic honeymoon
A holiday for us to share that hasn’t come too soon
So if you’re thinking of a gift and you’re not sure what to get
A gift of cash would help us most to get us on that jet
But most of all we’d love you there on our special date
To share with us our happiness and help us celebrate.
We know gifts create a bit of a fuss,
so rest assured your presence is your present to us.
But if you simply can’t resist,
our wishing well should assist.
Into the well goes a little cash,
which we will add to our honeymoon stash.
Our life together has already begun,
but on this day we will become one.
Most things we need, we’ve already got,
and in our little house we can’t fit a lot!
A wishing well we thought would be great,
but only if you wish to participate.
To save you looking, shopping or buying,
Here’s an idea we hope you like trying
A gift of travel is all we require,
To help us have the honeymoon we desire
Place your envelope in our treasure chest
And we will make our honeymoon the very best!
Now that we have saved you all the fuss,
We hope you will come and celebrate with us!
We’ve collected most things over the years
from household appliances to linen & holiday souvenirs
With most guests travelling from afar
it may be hard to fit a present in the car
Our wish is only to see you on the day
celebrating in your own special way
But if you still wish to give a gift
we’d love you giving our honeymoon fund a little lift.
Our two families have come together as one.
We really hope you can join in the fun.
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 special wish, but do not tell!
Please do not be offended by our request,
as our day is complete having you as a guest.
WEDDING/EVENT WORDING INSPIRATION 09/22
We ask that your presence is your present to us,
since our home is already full of homey stuff.
But if you’d like to bring a gift to send us on our way,
a contribution to our wishing well will surely make our day.
While wedding presents are so nice
your presence surely will suffice
But if you wish to give as well
please donate to our wishing well
With all that we have, we are beyond blessed,
your presence is all that we request.
If you decide to give nonetheless,
a donation to our honeymoon is what would suit us best
While wedding presents are so nice,
Your attendance will certainly suffice.
But if you wish to give as well,
We would love if you could donate to our wishing well.
If you were thinking of giving a gift
to help us on our way,
a gift of cash towards our house
would really make our day.
However, if you prefer to purchase a gift,
have prepared a gift registry
for your convenience.
Jenny and Michael

and for those who cannot attend the greatest gift we can receive is your continued love

our special day, and your presence is present enough. For those who do still wish to celebrate with a gift, a
contribution to our wishing well would be gratefully accepted.

…a contribution towards our [honeymoon/home] would be very much appreciated
