It is traditional in many cultures to give the gift of money in order to get man and wife off to a good start in wedded bliss. As such its also traditional to include a fun little wedding gift money poem in the card, which will both make the bride and groom laugh and earn you brownie points. I thought I’d try my hand at a couple of short verses to help you in your poem quest. Feel free to use these poems at your leisure.

Why Buy the Cow When the Milk is Free

Today’s the day, you pay the price
to get that milking cow.

But, Farmer John said it best
‘why buy the cow,
when the milk is less!’

The above wedding gift money poem may only be suitable as part of the groom’s gift, unless his new wife is a very humorous and understanding lady. Poems aren’t that hard to write, especially quick little verses. As long as they have a funny theme you’ll find that the audience can be very forgiving on little things like exact rhymes or an odd number of syllables.

Fish in the Sea

Fishing is a delightful
trade, best done with proper bait.
worms do not make a fool,
instead for sex, you must make him wait!

It has been said
that plenty of fish
live in the sea, yet,
this one best fulfilled your wish!

Reel ‘em in, reel ‘em in
Lest they forget
That they are men!

I like the fun nature of the above little ditty. Of course you can mix and match its verses to make something original and fun for your wedding gift money poem. It’s more suitable for the bride, and you may find it just the right poem for her bridal shower gift. Have a great time at the wedding!

As far as tradition is concerned the 1st wedding anniversary is less important, therefore the wedding anniversary gifts for such an event should also be less involved. Maybe it has something to do with the idea that the couple is just starting out and should be able to keep their extra money for much needed bills. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that their wedding was just a year ago and the wallets of friends and family members are still feeling the pain, not to mention the wallets of the bride and groom.

Wedding anniversary gifts that are traditional for the 1st year anniversary are made of paper. This tradition could have something to do with the symbolism of a lasting marriage, since the 75th year I believe is the diamond year. We all know that the diamond is the hardest substance known to man and each diamond is millions of years old. Thus a marriage that has lasted as long should be, ahem, rock solid.

You don’t have to worry about getting a diamond for your first wedding anniversary and can probably get away with cute traditional paper wedding anniversary gifts. Love coupons are really great. Give her a booklet made by you with coupons for ‘a free back rub, 15 minute duration, no sex required’ or one for ‘a dinner with your parents, no griping’. In fact you’ll have lots of fun coming up with coupon ideas and they will represent your willingness to give her or him, the gift of your time and love.

Another great paper gift that’s a little more unusual is the gift of origami. You’ll also get a chance to improve on yourself and gain a new skillset while undergoing this gift project. Start by learning how to create a simple origami work of art and give it to your partner on your wedding anniversary. Then tell him or her that you will create a new origami figure for each day of the coming year until your next wedding anniversary. Origami.com (http://dev.origami.com/diagram.cfm) is a great site with lots of origami ideas and instructions for them.
