oh no! crrrrrrrrrringe!

More and more people seem to be doing the money poem thing. I've been to 3 weddings in the last 12 months and all 3 did the poem in the invite.

they are a good way of letting people know that its money that you want but i personally do not like the poems, i think just be happy with what your given and there is always e-bay, lol...... people will usually ask anyway, i am not going to put anything into my invites.

however i cannot believe you said it to someone who had a poem, did you die, oh my god i am cringing for you, you poor thing.

I think if it had been the bride I would have been in trouble but it was the groom so it wasn't as bad.

I did tell him to do the speeches before the meal which he thought was a great idea so at least I redeemed myself a bit.

still ? tho!

? That's something I'd do.

I told my friend I didn't like a certain band just as she put their demo cd on and said they had booked them! We are no longer friends, oops ?.

Oh my goodness!! ?

I think i would have died if that was me!! Think you handled it very well!

Oh dear!

I've done the same actually! Me and my sister are getting married 2 months apart, me this month and my sis in September. We both wanted contributions to our honeymoon instead of presents, and i said to her something like-

"Oh i hope you're not putting one of those tacky horrible money poems in your invitation"

And she replied "Well actually we are" ?

Haaaaaa Cheska! ?

Obviously the Hitched view of them isn't reaching the wider world!

Hahaaaa ? that certainly is a cringeworthy situation!

I do agree though that they seem to be more and more common these days! T and I received an evening invitation for one we went to in May which had a money poem in - I was unbelievably tempted to post it on Hitched but just didn't have the bottle in case she was a lurker, she'd definitely have known it was me!

Oh no cringe!!!

we have just recieved one too!

we were going to do the poem thing and i know its tacky but how else should i go about it?

We asked for money, but just put nothing in the invites and told people as they asked!
