OK, will try & explain easyier, I am making wedding invitations and putting in a card, with a short poem for a wishing well, ( this is what is put a the reception for people who wish not to buy a present} It also is a good idea as we have nearly everything we need for a house, ( but the house} as we have been together for years. In leyman terms they make a donation in a envelope with a wish and drop it in the well at the wedding and we use it for savings for a house or to pay for honeymoon etc. Sorry for confusing you, very stressed at the moment. I understand this is a tradition in australia an it might not happen anywhere else, Please save me lol.

Your other question asked about what to put on that card, so I'm assuming that's still what you're asking. :o) I found a few ideas:
Soon you will hear our wedding bell,
As Friends and family wish us well.
Our household thoughts are not brand new,
We have twice the things we need for two.
Since we have our share of dishes and bedding,
We're having instead a wedding well wedding.
But more important we ask of you,
Your prayers of love and blessings too.
As our home is already set up with everything we need, we ask you not to bring presents. Instead we are having a Wishing Well Wedding for those who wish to participate. The Wishing Well will be set up on the day for you to place your wedding token in and make a wish. Do not feel obligated to participate, as more important to us is your prayers of love and your blessings as we begin our life together as husband and wife.
A Wishing Well we thought would be great,
but only if you want to participate.
A gift of money is placed in the well,
then make a wish, but Shhhh, don't tell!
Once we've replaced the old with the new,
we can look back and say it was thanks to you!
For your convenience we are also registered at Crate & Barrell.
I've never heard of this before, but I'm not Australian! :o) Good luck with everything.

Now you deliver shop the dates. occasion: A romantic affair... something specific is interior the air! Kindly shop the date for a tropical marriage celebration uniting Bride and Groom on Date city, Jamaica Invitation will persist with you could contain greater advantageous info including your shop the dates. as an occasion, have you ever reserved a block of lodge rooms? tell your travellers early. Then in previous due August or early September 2008 (in hassle-free terms a pair of months in the previous the marriage), you deliver the invites. discover out while your caterers want a correct head count variety for the reception. Set your RSVP date for 2 or 3 days in the previous then (this provides time to call people who've forgotten to respond). usually, the caterers will in hassle-free terms want each week or ten days notice. you're way, way too early asking for a November 2007 RSVP for a November 2008 wedding ceremony. a lot can happen in a twelve months.

The best thing for you to do is before you send out the invites themselves send a save the date card or even just a little note to all the guests...BEFORE YOU SEND THE INVITATIONS.... letting them know where you registered or that you just want money because you have all you need for the house. Me and my fiancee registered for our honeymoon that way our guests know that we aren't just looking for them to pay to attend our wedding which is how you're making it sound. You never send gift info with the invitations. Its considered rude and some ppl may not attend if you do that.
Hope this helps.

Save you from what? What exactly are you having the problem with? It is quite common for a "wishing well' to be placed on the gift table for those who wish to give monetary gifts.
Are you looking for words to explain on your invitations that you only 'want' monetary gifts?

Etiquette says this is horrible (we don't want gifts that we'll never use, just give us cash).
Practicality says - what a great idea. I would have no problem adding to a wishing well, if you simply said "We shopped, we bought, we've got the stuff; what we need now is help getting a place to hold it all. Thanks in advance for any help you can give us, and we promise to invite you to the housewarming."

What do you need advice on???? In North America, this practice would be very rude.
