Wording guides

Choosing the wording for your stationery can be a difficult task. To help make this a little easier we’ve put together a collection of wording on these pages.

We’ve included suggestions for wedding invitations, thank you cards, registry cards, wishing well card wording, baby thank you cards, christening invitations, engagement invitations and party invitations.

The wording here is a guide only and you are more than welcome to supply us with your own text. You’ll also find some alternative wordings used on the samples of designs across our website.

Wishing Well or Gift Registry Card Wording

 

Traditional Gift Registry

 

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. However should you wish to help us celebrate with a gift, we have registered a gift list with {Registry Name}. We hope that this registry will make it more convenient for you to select something that you know we will love.

 

Gift Registry/Honeymoon Registry

 

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. However should you wish to honor us with a gift, we have registered a honeymoon registry at {Registry Name}, where you can make a contribution to help us make a honeymoon memory that will last a lifetime

 

So what do you get a bride and groom, whose house is full in every room?
For those who wish to give a gift, help with our honeymoon would give us a lift.
Look for the suitcase at our reception, to leave a token of your affection.

  

Wishing Well

 

More than just kisses so far we’ve shared, Our home has been made with Love and Care, Most things we need we’ve already got, And in our home we can’t fit a lot! A donation to our wishing well would be great, But only if you wish to participate.

 

Your presence at our wedding is present enough!
But if we're honored with a gift from you,
may we respectfully request a gift of money
to help the dream of our new home come true.

 

If you were thinking of giving a gift,  to help us on our way.
A gift of cash, would really make our day.
However, if you prefer to purchase a gift, feel free to surprise us in your own way.

  

Charity

 

Next to your presence at our wedding,
a donation made to the charity of your choice
in honor of our marriage would be
the most meaningful gift you could give us.
Thank you.
