We are renewing our wedding vows and want some ideas on how to write up our invitations. Most likely everyone will want to bring a gift, is there a correct(POLITE) way of wording cash will help us for our second honeymoon we are wanting to take. Anyone have any ideas for planning a renewing the vows wedding. We will be cellebrating our 8th wedding anniversary but we have been together for a total of 20 years. Last year we were separated for 6 months so want to express our new(reminder) of love for each other. The saying you never know how much you love something until its gone TRUE>SO VERY TRUE.
We are both in our mid 30's so we want it to have some spunk. The reception will be in my parents back yard but want some ideas for the ceremony PLEASE&THANKS
Hi, for the "wording" problem, you can say something along the lines of, as we have been married for so many years we have everything we need at our home therefor rather than asking for gifts we would be grateful for contributions towards our dream honeymoon in..... You can get somebody to take care of this for you (such as a bestman) and give his details on the invitation. Good luck :)
If you plan on giving the cards that list where you are registered you can make one probably make one for the hotel that you are staying in or to go towards your package like someone might want to purchase the two of you massages, or a dinner at one of the restaurants of the hotel etc... I would be glad to help you arrange all of this. Please get in touch with me directly.
I agree that you really shouldn't ever mention CASH for gifts. Were these people invited the first time around? I agree that most will want to bring you something and if they do you should be grateful. Your in you mid thirty's I think you should pay for your own vacation.I've never heard of so many greedy people until I've started reading these boards. Read ettiquette boards, even updated modern ettiquette boards and they all say you cannot and should not ask for cash!
I think the people who are telling u its rude to ask for money probably have more than they can handle or maybe they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths i think they should do every one a favor and put it back in and shut up its not rude its honest and if i were going to your ceremony i would feel proud to know i gave u cash to help u have your dream come true
