Wedding Wishing Well Poem Examples

By Morgan Ress

The concept of a wishing well is becoming more and more popular each year - wedding surveys portray approximately 67% of couples are asking for monetary gifts in lieu of the traditional present. But how do you find a tasteful way of explaining the concept to your guests and ensure it doesn't offend? The answer - a brief and simple note should be sent out with the wedding invitation. Depending on the theme and feel of your wedding, this note can be elegant or a touch of humour can be included. We have included some wishing well wording examples which you can use on your own wedding invitations.

We are sending out this invitation,
And hope you will join our celebration.
If to send a gift is your intention,
In modesty we would like to mention,
We have already got a kettle and a toaster,
Crockery, dinner mats and coasters,
So rather than something we have already got,
Please give us money for our saving pot.
But, most importantly, we request,
That you turn up as our wedding guest!

Our home is quite complete now,
We've been together long.
So please consider our request,
And do not take us wrong.
A delicate request it is,
We hope you understand.
Please play along, as it will give
Our married life a hand.
The tradition of the wishing well,
Is one that's known by all.
Go to the well, toss in a coin
And as the coin does fall.
Make a wish upon that coin,
And careful as you do.
Cause as the well's tradition goes,
Your wishes will come true.
So on this special day or ours,
The day that we'll be wed.
Don't hunt for special gifts
But give money is it's stead.
And as you drop the envelope,
With money great and small,
Remember, make your wish
As you watch your money fall

So what do you get
For the Bride and Groom
Whose house needs things
In every room?

When shopping for a present
Please, don't be rash
As the option is there
To just give cash!

We hope that you don't find
Our request to be funny
But the decision is yours
To buy a present, or give money

Now you have the choice
Please do not fuss
The most important thing of all
Is that you come celebrate with us!

We hope that you will join us, on this our special day,
To celebrate our union in a very special way.

To make it easy for you and avoid a shopping spree
We thought that we would have instead, a little money tree.

Because we've been together, for a while now,
We collected all our household things before we took our vows.

An envelope has been included for you to bless our tree,
No name is required for each gift, as anonymity is the key!

So please don't be offended at our new type of request,
Just telling everyone our wish, has really put us to the test!

To save you looking, shopping and buying,
Here is an idea we hope you'll like trying!

Come to our wedding to wish us both well,
And make some use of our little wishing well.

Just put some money into a card,
Now make a wish.... See, that wasn't hard!

Now that we have saved you all of the fuss,
We hope that you will come And celebrate with us!

Because at first we lived in sin
We've got the sheets and a rubbish bin!
A gift from you would be swell
But we'd prefer a donation
to our Wishing Well!

As we are already established, we would appreciate a monetary gift.
It will contribute towards the bigger things we need.
Should you prefer this option a wishing well will be provided at the reception.

Wedding Stationery 101

By Michelle Ann Lee Custodio

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear of the term wedding stationery? Or are you any familiar with this very important component of a wedding?

Nowadays, a wedding, whether simple or grand, requires wedding stationery. It is an umbrella term that covers all the printed materials that you will need for your wedding. Having a wedding stationery harmonizes your wedding to a single theme. It provides ease and aesthetic to your special day since having a format or template for almost all of your needs would definitely look lovely and would further inspire your guests.

It normally starts with your invitation. Deciding on the design and the most minute detail of your invitation could help you define how the rest of the printed materials would look like.

For instance, if your motif is lavender then you might want to have small lavender flowers to accentuate your wedding stationery. It may not over decorate your stationery by filling it with such flowers but you may decide to contain these designs on the sides or even corner of your other printed materials.

You can also use the stationery for thank you cards, programs, place cards, maps or even part of the souvenir or the tag where you get to put the name of the couple and the date of the wedding.

Having a wedding stationery puts your wedding in order. It reminds you to prepare the wedding program and other printed materials that is more often overlooked when you are in the process of arranging for your wedding. You should make sure that you have printed enough copies so that your guests would not be lost in the middle of the program and ensure that they would participate lively and actively.

Remember, a wedding stationery need not to be grand and elaborate. It should not be even as pricey as you conceive it to be. It can be as simple as a piece of paper ornamented with a small design and the couple's name.

We all know that the times are really hard nowadays and that putting up a wedding really requires as much money on both parties and sometimes you would even consider if you really need a wedding stationery.

But, if you were to ask us, an invitation is a must for every wedding. The small price that you will be paying for it could help transform your simple wedding in a classy and sophisticated one. Surely, these stationery could make your wedding worth remembering.

2011 Wedding Gown Trends

By Bridget Mora

2011 might seem like a long way off, but bridal gown designers are already hard at work creating the beautiful styles which brides next year will all be coveting. Set to debut in a few months, the first crop of 2011 gowns are embellished with many dimensional details, lots of handstitched crystals, and large floral appliques. Take a sneak peek into the romantic style of the latest wedding gown trends.

For the last few seasons, ruffles have been one of the biggest ways that designers have chosen to add volume and visual interest to their gowns. The bridal gowns which are set to debut soon move away from the ruffle trend, but not from the idea of using embellishments to add volume and femininity. Instead of ruffles, look for gowns with hundreds of tiny three dimensional flowers stitched all over them. Soft petals are another favorite decoration for the romantic gowns for 2011. Oversized clusters of flower "corsages" are another big trend, and they are primarily being used as accents on waistlines or shoulders.

One thing you will not be seeing is a lot of plain dresses or those with simple lines. Asymmetry is still in, both in the form of the one shoulder gown and wedding dresses with asymmetrical draping on the bodice. Very low waistlines are in abundance, and most bodices have ruched, gathered, or draped bodices which hug the figure (the wrapped fabric does a nice job of smoothing over any figure flaws in these tight bodices). Certainly strapless bridal gowns are still a staple, and the one shoulder style is still in style. A new addition to the necklines for 2011 wedding gowns is the tip of the shoulder design which is very slim at the top and just barely grazes the edge of the bride's shoulder. It is a very flattering neckline for many women, and a nice alternative to the more typical strapless wedding dress.

With all the romanticism evident in the upcoming gowns for 2011, don't worry that all the petals and flowers mean less sparkle. You will be seeing Swarovski crystals stitched into the center of tiny floral appliques, as well as larger crystals used to embellish the entire gown, from neck to hem. The difference is in the way the sparkly details are being used: more organically and in clear crystal, rather than the icy silver of mirror backed crystals or rhinestones used to create a defined pattern. This will tie in beautifully with the Swarovski crystal bracelets which are one of the top trends for both 2010 and 2011 brides. Stacks of mismatched Swarovski crystal and pearl bracelets are a modern finishing touch for the romantic gown designs.

It seems as though all of the bridal designers will be crazy for texture in 2011. Not only will gowns soon be gliding down the runway embellished with floral appliques and oversized crystals, but designers are using even more interesting accents to create gowns with dimension. Look for multiple sizes of paillettes being used to create a shimmery, faceted appearance on gowns. (Paillettes are essentially larger and nicer versions of sequins, and they are often drilled at the top instead of the center so they can dangle and move.) Even feathers are making a statement as a trendy bridal gown embellishment. These fantastical details are being added to very soft and romantic fabrics like net, lace, and organza to create gowns which are like something out of a fairy tale. Lucky brides!

Wedding Gift Ideas For Parents

By Janet Verra

Giving gifts to your parents at your wedding party simply shows your appreciation and gratitude for their financial and emotional support to help make your wedding a success. Giving parents gifts can be done before your wedding day, like at your rehearsal dinner or wedding shower. Grab the opportunity to personally thank your parents as well as parents of your partner for all the love and effort to be the best parents to both of you. If you are a bit confused on what to select for moms and dads, here are some wedding gift ideas to help you:

Sentimental Presents

To help your parents get used to the new dynamic in the family, the more your gifts are sentimental the better. Consider a framed family tree, including the new member of the family. You can add something like your family background or your family history. Be creative when making such gift by adding decorative accessories to the portrait and to the frame itself.

Photo albums also make great sentimental gifts for the parents. Purchase nice-looking albums at your mall. You can make a multiple copy of photographs that you have saved before or copies of your wedding photo shoot. Place the photos in the albums so that your parents will not need to do that themselves to have a memorabilia of your wedding day.

Jewelry is also known to make a great keepsake that can last for a lifetime. You may want to give your parents some nice jewelry gifts that they can wear on your wedding day. There are some wonderful options for jewelry gifts, like making them personalized by putting a childhood or engagement picture in a locket or engraving their names or initials on bracelets or pendants.

Practical Presents

You may want to give something useful to your parents, like items that can give benefit to their everyday living. Any useful gift is highly appreciate. A tea set, multi-purpose tool bag, apron kit, tea box, bathrobe, or anything that can be useful to them makes a perfect gift for moms and dads.

Other presents you can give to your parents can actually be found during the ceremony itself. These gifts don't need to be expensive. One great idea is buying extra flowers from the florist and you can just ask an attendant to do the giving for you. Or, you may also have the flowers presented by someone while parents are walking down the aisle.

Wedding gifts for parents don't have to be lavish nor extravagant. Stick to gifts that convey the message that you want to tell to your moms and dads and as much as possible, personalized them. Search online for some more ideas. Other presents that weddings often need are gifts for groomsmen and best man, gifts for bridesmaids and maid of honor, and gifts for ring bearer and flower girl These are all thank you gifts that you can give to those who have a major involvement in your wedding.

How to Arrange For a Wedding Ceremony in Your Backyard By Kathy Mercado Author

There is nothing more exciting than arranging for a wedding ceremony in your backyard. Your home can always be one of the best locations for your wedding ceremony. In case you are getting married during the daytime then you have to provide with shade so your guests can sit comfortably. Arranging for few patio tables covered by festive umbrellas can always be one of the best options as it looks very much appealing to most people. This can further be decorated by making use of garlands and fresh daisy all around the post. To make it more attractive, you can also set up a beautiful garden lounge in a gazebo. The place should be decorated with teak or bamboo furniture with comfortable cushions so your guests can relax and enjoy the ceremony.

When arranging for a ceremony in your backyard you just don't have to set expensive furniture, but you have to ensure that all your guests are sitting comfortably and enjoying the outdoor location. If you want to accommodate more guests then you can also set up picnic style tables where ten to fifteen guests can sit at a time. One of the reasons for making use of these tables instead of folding chairs is that these are generally more comfortable and steadier. You can also drape it with pattern table cloth. In case you are making use of umbrellas to cover the tables then it is important that the color of table cloth should blend perfectly with the color of the umbrella. Blending different types of floral patterns can make things more colorful. You can also make use of different colored lanterns to decorate your backyard and shall transform the environment making it very much romantic for everyone.

Arranging a wedding ceremony in your backyard can be very much affordable and so you can always make more investment in decorating the place with flowers. This is one way to make your wedding ceremony eco friendly. These look good even if the day is breezy making the environment more casual.

Birthday Party Fun: Ten Essential Birthday Party Accessories for All Ages

There are three ways to look at birthdays. First, you can treat them as any other day, and just do whatever you always do. Second, you can groan inwardly at the thought of being another year older, and hide away from the world until the dreaded day has passed. And then there’s the third way, which is our favourite: have a big ol’ birthday party and celebrate another year of living life to the full.

If you’re planning to celebrate your big day with a birthday party – or if you’re organising a birthday party for someone else – it’s important to get the right supplies well in advance, to ensure everything goes smoothly. Here are our top ten accessories to help you throw the perfect birthday party for birthday boys and girls of all ages.

1. Birthday Boy/Girl Badge

Let there be no doubt about who is the birthday boy or girl – wear a birthday badge and be proud! The birthday boy badge is blue, while the birthday girl badge is pink – they’re made in the style of old school badges, and both come mounted on an 8cm square old school report card in a clear cellophane wrap.

2. Big Birthday Candle

The Big Birthday Candle is a great solution when tact says that a candle for each year would be a bit cheeky – and besides, at twelve inches high, it’s really quite impressive stuck in a cake!

3. Birthday Cake Mould

At last – a birthday cake

that says “happy birthday” without the need for cake-icing skills! This silicon cake mould can withstand high temperatures – simply pour your cake mix into the mould, bake it, and when you turn the cake out of the mould it will have “happy birthday” in raised letters, all around the edge. And if you’re in a hurry, you can use the Birthday Cake Mould to bake a delicious birthday cake in the microwave in just six minutes.

4. Happy Birthday Candles

Let’s be honest - sometimes, one candle for every year of the birthday boy or girl’s life will just take up too much space on the cake. On occasions like these, you need Happy Birthday Candles, which spell out the words “happy birthday” in bright colours and very tactfully don’t mention age at all.

5. Birthday Candelabra

Celebrate your birthday in style – have a birthday candelabra on your cake instead of candles. The birthday candelabra comes in a tasteful ivory colour, which won’t clash with your birthday cake, table settings or room décor.

6. Roman Candles

If you want to be coy about your age, spell it out in Roman numerals! Roman Candles are tastefully trimmed in silver, and each pack of eight candles comes fully equipped with a crash course in Roman numerology, so you can be sure you’ll get the age right every time.

7. Light Bites

All the best things in life serve more than one purpose, and Light Bites are no exception. Are they plastic forks? Are they birthday candles? Actually, they’re both. Pop the prongs of the fork into the cake, and plug a birthday candle into the handle, and there you have it – a reusable plastic fork that doubles up as a birthday candle holder.

8. Young at Heart Candles

Who says birthday candles have to spell out your age? Keep your age to yourself with these colourful birthday candles which spell out “young at heart”, and keep your secret safe!

9. Finger Food Party Plates

These nifty little plastic plates have a little ring attached at the back. Slip the ring onto your finger and you can balance hors d’oeuvres on the Finger Food Party Plate while holding your glass of champagne, leaving your other hand free for waving across the room at guests, pouring another drink or opening birthday presents.

10. Black Bars

If you have a tendency to misbehave at parties, and worry that your behaviour may have been caught on film, then you need Black Bars. Working like a pair of spectacles, Black Bars are big plastic rectangles that sit across your eyes, keeping your identity completely hidden. With Black Bars you can get up to all sorts, with no fear of being identified. Go on, be naughty – it’s your birthday!

Party Themes

"Reliving the good ol' days" is a great theme for any adult birthday party celebration. And it can be a nice journey to the childhood and back to adulthood through pieces of memory. Remember one thing while the spirit is of reliving the old days, don't let any of the theme turn aging.
No you need not regain the surge of the bubbly childhood to celebrate those overzealous days. Just create the ambience of yore that will relive the past, and let you unwind yourself. And have a happy journey down the memory lane.
For instance, surprise parties are always an option, as they may not be expected at this age and bring the most fun to everyone.

Melting pot of memories:
For getting started, as you invite your co-workers past and the ex-ones, contact old friends from the high school and if possible junior school too, college roommates, find out one of your favorite teachers of your college or if possible from your junior school. Old teachers can always add a magical touch to these parties. Especially when they churn out those funny stories of your mischief and misdeeds. They can be great fun in the presence of your old time and recent friends. The good old loving aunts or uncles of your neighborhood where you'd grown up are also great in these parties. Make the person sit on a higher platform while the rest should squat on the floor. Ask them to tell tales of those old days. Serve them old time favorite foods. Deck the party with plenty of colorful candles.
Whatever you decide upon, it's bound to turn an age-old event into a celebration of a lifetime.

Confluence of time:
This one is also a great idea in line with the former one. The implication of this is make the party appear like a confluence of times which flow like rivers. Make sure to include representatives of the past, present and future days. It suits even the 75 and older people.

It's nice to make it a no-age-bar party. Invite families & friends who had once been or are of significance to you.

Barbeques of buffets move more in sync with these parties than formal sit-in dinners. Make special arrangements for any one of ripe old age. Make him or her relax on a wheel chair at the hub of the party while the tots are engaged in playing around. Arrange some activity that introduces each one with each other. Like arrange for a song where each of the participants will have a voice. Ask the oldest of all to lead the song followed by the youngest(s) of the lot. Meanwhile the rest will join the chorus. What a confluence!

It surely turns out to be a lovely memorable day for all the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Old time Costume Party:
Yet another nice idea for celebrating a milestone birthday. Say, a Renaissance/Medieval costume party. It sort of adds to the ambience of the aging theme.

Bring in the feel right through the invitation card. Old chateu, castle, frozen frames out of old movie hits - anything will do.

Leave the decision entirely on the guests, while the birthdayer may pick up the costume of a queen or king. Have the guests come up with costumes for characters that used to deck a king's courtyard.

Let the guest of honor dress as the knight in shining armor for the party.
Decorate the area with paper swords, shields, castle backgrounds, gold, and black tableware, decoration, and balloons.

Serve finger foods only at this kind of party, flatware were not as common during this era.

Set the table with plastic goblets for serving drinks and serve or cranberry juice for the toast. Lace doilies, elaborate settings, and plenty of candles will give the room the deserving dramatic effect .

Surprise with secrets:
Nice for the elderly people. Keep the plan of the birthday a secret to the person whose b'day is going to be celebrated.
Hide the entire family and special gifts away from the celebrant. Customize the cake and the gifts by writing the name of the person on them. Get everybody and everything ready beforehand.

When the time comes for the party to start take the birthdayer by surprise. Stash all the members in the party room. And close its door. Then lead the birthdayer to the closed door and give a rap on it. As everyone inside bursts out "Happy birthday to you" . Push the door open to let her or him in for the real surprise.

Or you may keep all the presents stashed up in a closed room and lead the person inside for a surprise. Gather all the members outside. When she or he comes out of the room let everybody greet her or him with a wish. What a surprise!
Ask her or his old favorite dish and do it for her or him. Let everybody share it from his or hand. And deck the party room or lounge with symbol(s) that represents her/him the best. Like the pair of knitting sticks that she loved to use, or an old typewriter that she or he used to work with, or a golf stick he used to play with, and so forth.
You can also decor the room with old vinyl discs records featuring hits of oldies. And play the old numbers favorite of her/his time. Everybody will love to see how it sets the person's feet tapping.

Even if you've never thrown a surprise or adult birthday party for someone before, ask around for suggestions and ideas. Better yet, think back to parties you've attended before remembering what you liked (or didn't like).

Well, ideas never end...for other party themes, you may contact Nette Cabrera of Footprint Events...
