I'm looking for a good "please give us money for our wedding gift" rhyme. Please help people!?

Question

sorry i didn't make it clear that i'm not interested in whether you think it's proper, rude or tacky. Go judge someone else.

I'm trying to find a good rhyme. SO if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

Answer 1

Ok to everyone else who posted an answer...it says right in the question that he doesnt care if he offends you, so your obviously just wasting your time, because he probably just ignores those anyways. And i would LOVE it if people asked for money instead of gifts because then you wouldnt be going out of your mind on what to get them and what they already have and how much you should spend and all that crap. He's not asking for millions of dollars just whatever people could give.

And sorry I dont have a rhyme, but i liked the toasters are a hoot one...it was cute.

Answer 2

i recently received a 'poem' with a wedding invitation , its my brothers wedding , i spoke with them about it , and i do see the point - they have everysingle item they need as they have been together for years and years, so it would be pointless to give them a useless gift- this way they can put the money towards their honeymoon - or a home deposit - i mean its really makes sense, why would you want to give a couple a useless gift, they smile and say thankyou and it goes into the cupboard never to be used with the rest of the useless gifts right. and its so much easier just to whack some money in a envelope .... here is a copy of their poem "we've been together for some wonderful years and shared each others lives, along the way we've accumulated many things, like a toaster, microwave ans knives. So if you wish to bring a gift, that certainly is a plus. but there is another option which may save you all the fuss. We will have some envelopes to post, in which you may place your card of gift donation, whatever you prefer the most. Anything you give will be received with much appreciation, If However, we understand, that neither is your thing, Just yourself and your smile, is all we ask you to bring!!'

Answer 3

It isn't polite at all to ask for money, so the only way to let people know that is acceptable is by telling your parents, your fiance's parents, and the bridal party so they can tell them when they are asked. Or, when you create your registry (which you never include in invitations), register for gift cards. If you still want a rhyme:

Our bills are overflowin'
We could really use some cash to get us goin'

or

Roses are red
Violets are blue
What we could use most
is a check from you

My advice is to spread the word through your family, and smile when people ignore it and give you a gift (some people will not give you money-- ever)

Answer 4

Um, hm. The rhyme I can't help with. But I can say this to the other posters. Actually, it's perfectly proper to only ask for money on a Bridal shower invitation. Keep an open mind people, seriously.

Answer 5

I'm really trashy so give me your money, honey.

Donations expected
For Tacky Tacky me
So, give me your money
and your friend I will be
See, I expect my friends
to buy my respect
No, I won't be there to the end
But what'd you expect?
From someone so uncouth
as to beg for cash
I still have one tooth,
I'm not TOTAL trash!!!

Don't come to my weddin
send me money instead.
I won't be frettin
If you think I'm out of my head
See, I don't really care
what other peeps think.
My weddin's gunna be bare
You'll be buyin your own drinks!
Yes, I reckon it's tacky
to be beggin fer cash
But, I'll be your lackey
if you pay for my gas!
I don't want no gifts
Cuz my sister's my wife
Through your cash I'm gunna sift
Since I ain't got no life
And I ain't got no class
so I ask you for loot
While I sit on my a$$
and drink gin from my boot.



Obviously, people are highly offended by this - how do you think your guests will react?

Answer 6

Your invited to our wedding, it will be a beautiful setting. I'll have you all know that I hope you can show, but if not don't forget to send the dough. For those that will be on the way to share in my happy wedding day, there is no need for any gift other than money, so that i can go buy something nice for my new honey....lol Hope you like

Answer 7

Athough weddings are expensive
There's no need to be offensive
You should try to do what's right
Learn how to be polite
Asking for gifts is rude
Asking for money gifts is crude
You're not a charity case
I'd even tell you to your face
Wedding-style extortion is crappy
It won't make anyone happy

Answer 8

I am on the same boat as you buddy, we are getting married int he spring and I have came to the conclusion that I will just ask that of close family members (for $) and still do the registry thing. Hopefully at a place that will give cash for returns and not just store credit.
Some of those rhyms where pretty good though. :)

Answer 9

I know that you don't care if it's rude but most people will. If they are offended by your money request then they will give you less that they would have in the first place. Most people don't give gifts they give money anyway so you wont really have to worry about it. If you offend them they may not give at all.

Answer 10

not proper. you could however just return all the gifts and try to get the money back for them.
