Poem for charity donations

Hey everyone,

I am getting married in February and we want our guests to give a donation on the day to a charity close to our family (Hartlepool Blind Welfare Association) via a wedding post box.

I have been looking for months now for a wee poem to put into the invites saying we don't want presents but would like them to donate on the day. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Beth

    Does this help....


    Well, the time has finally come
    We're about to tie the knott
    If you could spend the day with us
    We'd like that - a lot!

    Your company is all we need
    Honestly, it is
    Come join in the celebrations
    Have some cake, a glass of fizz

    We have no need for gifts
    As toasters - we have many!
    But there's a charity dear to our hearts
    Who would appreciate a penny

    If you could give to them
    That's the best gift we could ask for
    Then bring yourself to our wedding
    With a smie, and nothing more
    Scrappie:p
