Asking your witnesses...

Options
Im doing very special invitations for my bridesmaids, and id like to do the same for our witnesses, however, i found the perfect little poem for asking my bridesmaids - to print and slip in the invites - but i cannot find anything for the witnesses!

Did anybody do this with their witnesses? Or has anybody seen a poem like this?
Many thanks! X

    I'm confused, usually the bridesmaid and best man are the witnesses and don't get sent invitations.

    I'm having different witnesses to bridesmaids and best man. The bridesmaids are 8 and 12 and the best man can't read. Everyone who is coming to the wedding got an invitation even the best man :)

    Our two witnesses are very good friends of ours and both of them are chuffed to be playing a part, we're having two males as witnesses :)

    My witness is my MoH's husband - I asked him by saying 'I was wondering if you could do something to help out with the wedding...' and his face looked unimpressed and So I said 'It's really simple, you'll just have to sign your name,' and his face lit up and he was really delighted.

    I think girls appreciate little poems and stuff maybe, I think if you're asking a guy, don't bother - it's nicer to ask in person, and they won't appreciate the sentiment of the poem.

    Thank you for your replies! :) we are having a tiny wedding and I wanted everyone to have a part so to speak, the witnesses are a couple so I wanted something special to add into their invite :) x
  • Here's a little poem :-)

    We've picked out the flowers
    We've selected the cake
    We've chosen the dresses
    The speeches we'll make

    There’s one very special
    Job left to do
    And this is where
    We need help from you

    We’re so happy you’ll be there
    On our wedding day
    Will you be our witnesses?
    What do you say?

    I was just looking for this. This is what I used.

    I made a Photobook of us all together and this was the last page.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
