Sorry, I can't help you with a rhyme, but I can help you not make a fool of yourself. It is NOT a good idea to ask for ';holiday vouchers'; instead of gifts.





Your best bet is to not register anywhere, don't put anything in your invites, and just spread the details by word of mouth through your family, friends %26amp; wedding party that you would prefer cash gifts so you can put it towards your honeymoon or other things you may need for your home.
There is no such thing as a ';nice'; way to demand cash from a guest. Unfortunately many brides these days do not understand what an ';invitation'; is - it is your official invite to a person to attend your event as a guest. Period. If they wish to buy you a gift, that's a bonus, but it is entirely up to them. Don't think that by making up some cutesy little rhyme you can avoid looking rude. You are lucky that you have your own house and you are lucky that you have friends. I'm sure you don't want to lose either so don't go into debt for a honeymoon and don't insult your friends by asking them for cash. Start saving. On your first anniversary, go on a long romantic holiday and call it your delayed honeymoon.
You can't outright ask people to give you money for your honeymoon without looking very tacky. It is rude to tell other people how to spend their money, especially if it is a gift.





Your best bet is to not register anywhere. When guests contact you (or your parents or bridal party) to ask where you are registered or what you want/need, just politely say that you have all the household items that you need. Most guests will just give you cash in that case.
Tacky
Oh, you just can't do this. Very, very poor taste. Lots of people will resent this request.
