AppId is over the quota
The first great idea is to make your wedding invites rhyme. Rhyming wedding invites not only bring a smile to people's faces but it can also help with the slightly awkward wording of informing the guests about your gift list or requesting contributions to the honeymoon (if that is what you are doing). While it is now considered quite acceptable to do this, wording the request in a polite and un-pushy manner can be quite a challenge. Making your speech rhyme helps to solve that. Here's a few verses that can slot into your wedding invite or just use as inspiration to compose your own unique verses.
The date has been set
And we'd love you to come,
To our wedding in (place name),
A long way for some
All you must do,
Is decide what to wear,
Put on your jewellery,
Perhaps comb your hair
There will be music and food
And people you don't know,
Just please RSVP,
And pray it don't snow!
We've not done a wedding list,
For reasons which we'll explain,
But it will save you hassle,
As shopping can be a pain
We've lived together for quite a while
And already have a kettle and two toasters,
Our kitchen is filled with pots and pans,
Plus dinner plates and coasters
If you really do want to give a gift,
To help us celebrate,
Some money for our honeymoon,
Really would be great
Now please don't think we're cheeky,
Or that this comes from greed,
But we've lived together for quite a while,
And there's really not much we need
But obviously the most important thing,
Is the purpose of this request,
We'd love to see you on our special day,
As one of our wedding guests
This is just a short excerpt from a wedding invitation which I wrote sometime ago. Feel free to use it exactly as is, or add in a few verses of your own. You'll certainly receive compliments from your guests for the originality. You don't even need to make it this long. You could just address the wedding gift list issue through rhyme, and make the rest of the invite normal.
One other nice touch I have recently seen in a wedding invite is, in the RSVP, the couple had asked for you to recommend a song for the playlist for the wedding reception. This gets your guests involved and lets them all feel they are contributing. Plus, you can guarantee they will be straight up on the dance floor when their song is played!
