Putting gift lists on wedding website - wording?

smcqis

Hi,

We got free wedding website with our reception and i have been working on it. I was putting our gift lists up basically saying where we had them but i wasnt sure what to put.

I dont want to be presumptious but is there any lines i could put in that would say something like "if you wish to buy us a gift, we have registered gifts at the following stores...". Maybe thats ok?

Help appreciated

We put the following on our wedding website
We are inviting you to share our special day with us, not because we expect presents, but some people have already asked us what we would like for a wedding gift. And then added blurb about contributing to a honeymoon

How about something like this:

You will make our day extra special if you are able to share it with us, and we have no wish for anything more. However, in response to kind enquiries from family and friends, any contribution towards our honeymoon fund would be received with sincere gratitude.

We used this for our invites as had the same question. Always thought the poems etc were a bit twee, and just wanted something simple. You could replace as intended with the wedding list bit

On our webpage for paying money in (honeymoon registry with the company we went with) we have said this:

Hiya! Thank you for visiting our page. We are really looking forward to celebrating our marriage and hope to see as many of our family and friends there as possible. The most important thing to us is having you there as our guest to help us mark the occasion in style, however, in response to questions about gifts we have set up this wedding gift list whereby contributions can be made towards our honeymoon, which is an adventurous road trip around West Coast America. We really wanted our Honeymoon to be a ‘once in a lifetime’ trip and your contribution would enhance our time there, and also hopefully make it possible for us to book a few honeymoon luxuries, such as a historic trip to Alcatraz, a helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon, a show in Las Vegas or cocktails in Hollywood!
We can't emphasise enough that sharing our wedding celebrations with you is what matters to us the most; look forward to seeing you on April 30th when we take the plunge!

on our invites we said this:

We are sending out this invitation

In the hope you will join our celebration

But if a gift is your intention

May we take this opportunity to mention

We have already got a kettle and toaster

Crockery, dinner mats and matching coasters

So rather than something we have already got

We would appreciate money for our honeymoon pot

If you miss the list closing date

Then don’t worry you can wait

For 30th April, our wedding day

When some US dollars will help us on our way

But most importantly we request

That you come to our wedding as our guest.

Hope this helps? :beer:
