I voted for number 2 as well. I love the neckine and the colour. It will suit anyone

Many thanks to all of you lovely people for your help and response to this thread, I feel much better about how to proceed from here.

Thank you Maura I wouldn't write the about the gift situation on the actual invitations but in my experience couples provide information about the gift list on a separate piece of paper that comes with the invitation. Your input is very valid though, guests would like to see what they are 'buying'. By the way, your siggy pic is lovely, congratulations to you both

I think this is definately something that I could attempt to introduce over here. I wonder if anyone has had problems with computer illiteracy though with this idea?

IMHO Although the gift idea may seem a little radical to you guys, I am following a British etiquette with regard to the list. We were not going to have a list at all but this is regarded as rude in this country. Guests want to give a gift and appreciate some guidance as to what to give. (as in the old days, couples would end up with 100 toasters and non matching tableware!!?). Travel vouchers are on the increase over here albeit still quite new. Your thoughts have been taken on board though, it's well received having an honest first impressional thought.

As I have been sharing a home with my fiance for more than 3yrs now, we do not require a wedding gift list in the traditional format. We love travelling and seeing that our wedding is a travel theme, we didn't think our guests would mind contributing to the cost of the honeymoon as their gift in the form of travel vouchers. However, when we were designing the invitations we couldn't think of the right words to put to make this clear. I want people to know that their gift to us is our honeymoon of a lifetime without them thinking it's a cheaky ask. Help! how do I put this into words?

I have the same kind of problem. I have a phoenix cut diamond which protrudes at the top and bottom. I was all set to have a plain court shape band that can have a piece cut out to fit snugly against my engagement ring. However, my mother pointed out that should I have this done to my wedding band, am I going to opt out of an eternity ring for the future as this would fit between my wedding band and engagement ring thus making my band look rubbish! I obviously do want an eternity ring in the future! Any ideas anyone?

I wanted some favour boxes in the shape of suitcases that can then act as a take away box for wedding cake but can't find anything that will suffice yet.

Hello there I'm new to this forum and introducing myself. My name is Karen and I'm getting married on 15th August 2009. I'm getting Married in Kent, UK and although I'm not getting married abroad, I am having a travel theme. My fiance and I met through our jobs in the airline industry. I am after ideas for my invitations which ideally will look like a boarding pass and any other ideas would be great
