As you know, we have lived together for quite a while and so do not need the traditional housewarming wedding gifts. Your presence is requested, not your presents, but for those wishing to buy us a gift we would appreciate a contribution to our Trailfinders honeymoon account so that we may have a fantastic honeymoon to America next year. Please see the enclosed information for the full details.


What do you think? Too much info, not enough? What should i include in here? does the gift list bit sound ok?

Sounds fine honey, whats your venue like? Is it far away from places? So would taxi numbers be handy? What about parking at the venue?

ok, have amended to this, is this better? i'm wondering whether to also add "Dress Code: Fabulous!" but not sure if it sounds shit lol!

We look forward to having you share our special day with us!

Sounds good, I don't think anything is too much as you then save people to coming back to you with questions, we also had about parking, breakfast times.

Sounds good. We are also putting in our time frame for the day so guests can see when they will be fed, so they can decide to eat or not before coming, and just to get an idea of whats happening and when. We are also putting a few words about confetti in (ie: Both the Church and Hotel allows the throwing of confetti, so please do bring some if you so wish). x

i was gonna put the time frame in but have decided to just do that on the day. i felt a bit cheeky basically saying "come fed but please donate to our honeymoon" lol!! not really sure about confetti, i'm not gonna mention it and hope no one brings any cos i hate the stuff!

Well if you don't want confetti, you could always request people don't bring it as you're not keen?

I am just putting the timings for everything, people can figure it out for themselfs if they are happy to wait for food or if they want to eat sooner. eg:

Order of the Day:
12.30pm – Wedding Ceremony at Church
1.15pm – Photo's outside Church
2pm – Arrival Drinks at The Hotel and Photo's
3.10pm – Receiving Line leading to The Dining Suite
3.30pm – Speeches
3.45pm – Wedding Breakfast Served
6.30pm – Evening Reception begins
7.15pm – Cutting of the Cake followed by Bride and Grooms First Dance
8pm – Evening Buffet Served
9.30pm – Wedding Cake Served
12.30am – Last Orders, End of Reception

If they have that list then they can think "Oh, no food before 3.45, I'd better eat something light to keep me going" or whatever! lol
