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 rhymeThe only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 50 -
Oooh like them! It's Orchid, the male cancer charity (testicular and penile)0

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..... x0

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

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!

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!
