Wording for a Wishing Well

Not sure how to word your wishing well? 
Whether you’re going for timeless and formal, 
modern and minimal, or laid back and casual, 
the right wording sets the tone.

Here are some different wishing well wording samples.

Think of these as your cheat sheet
– great for inspiration.

Wishing Well
Option One

More than just kisses so far we’ve shared
Our home has been made with love and care
Most things we need we’ve already got
Like a toaster and kettle, pans and pots

A wishing well we thought would be great
(but only if you wish to participate)
A gift of money is placed in the well
Then make a wish… but do not tell


Wishing Well 
Option Two


So what do you get for the wedding couple
whose home is setup in every room?

Their home needs repairs and some upgrades too
But you can not register for carpet and glue.
A well that holds wishes is the way to go,
so lets make it easy for all that know.

A wishing well will be at the reception hall
To attach your wishes, for the couple, with love from all


Wishing Well 
Option Three

Our home is quite complete now,
We’ve been together long.
So please consider our request,
And do not take us wrong.

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.

So on this special day of ours,
The day that we’ll be wed.
Don’t hunt for special gifts
But give money is it’s stead


Wishing Well
Option Four

The tradition of the wishing well
used on the wedding day,
is here both for your money gifts
and for what you would like to say.

So please drop in a token of love
for this special couple
as they start their married life united
to live together side by side


Wishing Well 
Option Five

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


Wishing Well
Option Six

Soon you will hear our wedding bell,
As friends and family wish us well.
Our household goods 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 wishing well wedding.
But more important we ask of you,
your prayers of love and blessings too!


Wishing Well
Option Seven

A wishing well will be at our reception.
Please drop your card and make a wish, then drop it in.
As it falls into the well your wish for the couple, will come true.
A token of love for the couple to help them begin


Wishing Well 
Option Eight

Now we are to be Mr & Mrs (or Mr + Mr) (or Mrs + Mrs)
We don’t need a wedding list of dishes
we have a kettle and two microwaves.
We require a home for which we have to save.

If you would like to honour us with a gift,
A gift of money would give us a lift
We like to think of it as our ‘Wishing Well’
Which will be filled with your love, we can tell.


Wishing Well 
Option Nine

Our home is quite complete now, we’ve been together long,
so please consider our request and do not take us wrong.
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 of ours, the day that we’ll be wed.
Don’t hunt for special gifts but give money in it’s stead.


Wishing Well 
Option Ten

We’ve been together a few years now.
We have pots and pans and linen and towels,
we have glasses and toasters, really quite a few.
So instead of more gifts, we suggest this to you.
If it doesn’t offend and it won’t send you running,
what we would really appreciate is quite simply money.
We know choosing gifts can be such a pain,
and this way there is no chance of bringing the same


Wishing Well
Option Eleven

If you were thinking of giving a gift, to help us on our way.
A gift of money towards our home, would really make our day.
However, if you prefer to purchase a gift,
feel free to surprise us in your own way


Wishing Well
Option Twelve

Come and enjoy a day that’s all sunny
We would thank you so much for a gift of some money.
Instead of a gift for our home, it makes life so much easy.
There’ll be no double ups, into places so squeezy.
We thank you so much for your understanding.
A wishing well will be at our reception.


Wishing Well
Option Thirteen

To save you looking, shopping or buying.
Here is an idea, we hope you like trying.
Come to our wedding, to wish us both well.
Bring a small envelope, to throw in the well.
Fill it with paper, any colour will do.
Now that we have saved you, all of that fuss.
We hope you will celebrate with us.
 


Wishing Well 
Option Fourteen

Many of our guests have enquired 
for a gift idea to be inspired.
Like many young couples today,
We have most things anyway.
If you would like to give, it is our request,
For something for our wishing well.
A gift of money you can afford,
is just what we need you can be assured.


Wishing Well 
Option Fifteen

We don’t want to offend but we have it all,
all household goods and so much more.
To save you shopping, sit back and rest,
a gift of currency is our request.

Don’t go overboard or rob any banks,
any little thing will make us smile with thanks.
We supply the wishing well,
just pop in an envelope and who can tell?

Now that we have saved you all the fuss,
we would love you to come and
celebrate with us!
