Wedding Poems: For the Reception (4)

Treasure chest-for a beach or nautical theme wedding
Poem by dona sanchez colorado springs, CO


Please join us on our special day
In the sun, in the sand and at play!

Your attendance will bring us cheer
and will save you time, have no fear!

In lieu of gifts, there will be a treasure chest
To fill with coins, dollars, checks
but we make one request

Please place this treasure in an envelope or card
So we know who it?s from.
It won?t be hard.

Thank you in advance from the bottom of our hearts
Our friends and families are the real treasures
We?ve known that from the start!


Thank You to Guests
Poem by Mandee Sears


It means so much to us
to have you here today,
that we wanted to say Thank You
in a very special way

Though this little gift could never
repay you what we owe
for your time, your love and friendship
please take it as you go


Lift me up
Poem by Dawn Boger


I bought four picture boxes. Instead of normal wedding cameras. On the outside of the box, there are four windows, we wrought special thoughts on one side and have dedicated one box a piece to our parents and grandmothers. this way they can keep a small floral box with special pictures in side from the wedding. We put two cameras in each box and they will be center pieces for our wedding aside from other center pieces. My little sister Delores Wishon came up with this poem for us, we put the poem on in the other frames giving guest the directions to the cameras. I would like to see if you would print this poem for her. I am proud to have such a creative sister.

Lift me up & pop me open,
Look inside and find a token,
find me hidden inside,
snap a picture of the groom and bride.

Take one or maybe two,
pass me over to the person next to you.
Keep me moving on and on,
til my film's all gone.

Place me back safe and tight,
until after this wedding night.


A Kiss for a Kiss
Poem by Mandee Sears


The tradition is to clink, to get us to kiss,
we don't like that, so we thought of this...

Call on your experience, wisdom and talent
show us how it's done and our try will be gallant!


Poem for Scrapbook/Keepsake Guest Book
Poem by Christine Hemmerich


A precious collection of memories, this guest book is meant to be.
Take your time and collect your thoughts, then write them down for posterity.

You might choose words of wisdom, encouragement or a joke.
Possibly a poem, a funny drawing or a wedding anecdote.

Whatever your means of expression, our gratitude we cannot measure.
This guest book will be, no doubt, an heirloom we will treasure.
