How do you word a honeymoon fund request on wedding invitations?

Wedding invitation etiquette in the UK holds that the main invitation should only state the who, what, when and where. Requests for money, including honeymoon funds, belong on a separate card or online, never on the invitation itself. This keeps the invitation clean and avoids any impression of expectation.

On a details card you could write, "We are fortunate to have a home already. If you would like to give a gift, a contribution towards our honeymoon would be a wonderful memory." Or on your website, "Honeymoon contributions are welcome. Your presence is the only present we need."

Keep the tone warm and grateful. Avoid listing specific amounts or making it sound like a requirement. Phrases like "if you wish" or "should you want to" give guests an easy way to opt out without awkwardness.

If you are worried guests will miss the details card, mention the website on the invitation with a simple line such as, "For details, accommodation and gift information, please visit our website." This directs guests politely without cluttering the main card.

Always check with your venue or registrar if they have rules about cards and collections at the ceremony, as these can vary.
