I can't believe how much time has flown by...less than 5 weeks until the big day!
We've had a few enquries about gifts and directions so I thought a blog post wouldn't go a miss to clarify things.
Gifts
We said with our invites that you being there with us is the most important thing to us, however if people wanted to give a gift, we would like monetary donations (however big or small!) towards our honeymoon please. We are going to have a postbox at the reception which people can post cards and envelopes through and we are happy to receieve donations either in cash or by cheque that way. However, if you would rather give it to us in person before the day, then that's fine too.
Cheques can be paid to Miss J Smith or Mr. Sean Bass. In terms of cash, we don't mind either british pounds or American Dollars. We will be changing all of our money for spending money on our honeymoon.
We are aware that some people like to bring actual gifts to a wedding and that's fine too. As I said, just having everyone there will be enough for us. :)
