I am thinking of asking for monetary gifts in additional for a registry as me and my fiancé have lived together for three years and our families gave us a lot of house hold items for Christmas's and birthdays over the years. I wrote this poem to include in our invitations but not sure about it. I stole some of the sayings from other Registry Alternative poems and changed them to fit our needs Any advice would be great!
We are sending you this invitation,
In hopes you will join our celebration.
But if a gift is your intention,
We have something we would like to mention.
We have loved each other for quite some time,
And we have been very blessed along the line.
We own our home that is filled with pans, bedding, and décor,
There really isn't much room for anything more!
We would like to open a new idea for you to ponder,
As what we really want cannot be bought from a store you can wander.
With that being said happily,
Our heart's desire is to grow our family!
Rather than a gift you have to fuss over and shop for,
We would love to add to our savings pot with a monetary gift you can afford.
We hope we have not offended,
As your help to make our dream come true would be splendid!
However if giving a traditional gift is how you would like to help us celebrate,
We have created a list of some things we have that could use and upgrade.
But most importantly we request,
That you come to our wedding as our guest!
