Gift list:

We’re just happy that you can be with us, but should you wish to give us a gift, money would be very much appreciated in helping us set up our new home.

Any Questions?

Just call Claire on ****£££ or Matt on ****£££

I like the wording, we will be hosting the blessing so would just alter the wording slightly at the top but I really like about your post is the gift list part, as we live together and have for 5 years we have all we need so is asking for money an "ok" thing to do? As I'm sure some guests will ask what we would like or if we have a gift list somewhere and we really dont... we have everything we need.

I was thinking about vouchers for a specified travel agents so we can go away at some point but then we are getting married abroad with the blessing here when we get back so to ask for travel vouchers would mean yet another holiday??? xx
