    a little gift we have for you
    our intentions pure and true
    with a moment of perfect clarity
    we gave the money to xxxxx charity

    in honour of our loyal friend
    the rules of weddings we will bend
    instead of spending money on you
    we're giving it to a cause thats true
    a cure for cancer can be found
    but for that they need every pound
    please wear this badge all the time
    the thought of it made us rhyme
    The only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 5
  • Oooh like them! It's Orchid, the male cancer charity (testicular and penile)
  • Ooooh anyone wanna help me with mine to put in the invite. I want a poem that says something about presents can be either gift list or money for our home decorating etc. I can find poems for either gift list or money but not for both..... x

    thank you! It’s a Sue Ryder hospice near us called "Manorlands"

    We've no sugared almonds of heavenly flavour
    Instead we are giving our Charity Favour

    For the Sue Ryder Hospice, of which we're great fans
    It's the one that is near us, and called "Manorlands"

    You know that the cause is both worthy and true
    So we've spent cash on them, instead of on you

    So "do us a favour", and wear it with pride
    With love from The Bridegroom, and love from The Bride!

    I hope that you will please accept our Wedding Invitation
    We'd love so much for you to come and join our celebration

    And if you feel that you may wish to give a little gift
    We hope there's something suitable upon our Wedding List

    If nothing takes your fancy, then p'raps you could donate
    Some modest funds to buy the goods so we can decorate

    And when our home is up to scratch, then welcome you will be
    To come and see what you have bought - and have a cup of tea!

  • Thank u Soo much!!
  • Here we go Scrumpy, I've altered the other one to suit your Charity. :)

    We've no pretty favours, with almonds within,
    Instead we are giving a Charity Pin

    As the groom has been poorly, we decided, you see
    To support super "Orchid" - it's the male Charity

    They helped through his illness, so we thought what we'd do
    Is to spend cash on them, instead of on you

    So "do us a favour", and wear it with pride
    With love from The Bridegroom, and love from The Bride!
