African American Weddings

For those who want money and not gifts

So In my search of wishing tree stationary, I came across a site that had cleaver little poems for a wishing well (for money) or a request for monetary gifts.

This poem was super funny and my mom would die if I put this up at my wedding. (side note: we are not asking for money but if someone wants to give it we will take it! LOL)

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!

Too funny because I am picturing my mom's face. I should email this to her as a joke!!

    I lot of couples are doing this.  My folks would be going crazy if I did this. 
    My coworkers daughter is getting married and instead of a registry she is doing a honeyfund. She is requesting money to help pay for their honeymoon.  the website is www.honeyfund.com
