Hi myself and my H2b have been together 10 years now and have everything we...

Sorry I don't but goog lick this is a very good idea. :)

That is such a wonderful idea, good luck x

There is something online, think it may be called I want a poem????? They take info Then write poem You pay what you think its worth.. A friend of mine had ectopic pregnancy, & did similar thing at her wedding. Her daughter is now 16, beautiful young women... Good luck with everything... x

That's such a lovely idea! Google would be your best bet I think. Or do you happen to have a friend who's good with words? Good Luck!

That's a lovely idea and as its your special day and will Be all your families and friends there, I'm sure they would all be more than happy to help with such a special cause rather than buying gifts etc xx

Hun I am so sorry to hear you are struggling with this - the only super cheesy line I could come up with is "our life is complete, except for the patter of little feet" - I used to work for a fertility specialist in South Africa - I know it's on the other side of the world but look into that as the cost of travelling there for treatment could be less than half of what it is here (we had many overseas patients when I worked there). Xxx

It's not about ivf but u might be able to change it slightly.

I don't know if it helps you but we used this and adapted it slightly to our family. It might be a good starting point for you x

Have you thought about looking at online poetry groups and asking members to maybe write something for you. Good luck Huni. xXx

Such a good idea! I found this online:

“We've got our home and we've got each other,
But with three lovely bedrooms there's room for another.

We'd move out the furniture, paint it yellow and green,
The most beautiful nursery the world's ever seen.

The thing we want most is a new addition to our nest,
Got the eggs and the oven we just need the rest!

Our journey to motherhood will be quite a crawl,
It's something we hope to achieve with the support of you all.

So if you'd like to help make our family complete,
We need IVF - not things, stuff or treats.

We hope you'll take this verse with the intention it's meant,
But that's where any money given as gifts will be spent.”

I think that's a lovely idea x
Good luck

Wish i had thought of this. We r looking at self funding as nhs doesnt cover our area for funding. Neither of us have children, passed all the other criteria and tests. But no funding. Heartbreaking.

Through happiness and tears
We've stayed so strong
And so now we're asking
If you can help our journey along

Not kettles or dinner plates
Or holiday vouchers or honey dippers
But if you can afford, just a few pennies,
With eternal thanks for helping our family grow bigger

*(apologies for the rubbish rhymes)

We hope that you can share our day,
Filled with love and laughter.
To celebrate our love,
And our happy ever after.
But as you all know we're not complete,
We still have space in our hearts.
That's why we are here to ask you,
To play a special part.
We don't want gifts to open,
Or vouchers to spend on things.
Instead we wish for something,
That's means absolutely everything.
IVF is our chance,
To have our family complete.
So please donate towards our treatment,
And create the pitter patter of tiny feet.

We are sending you this invitation
In the hope you will join our celebration
But if a gift was your intention
May we take this time to mention
We already have a kettle and toaster
Crockery, dinner mats and matching coaster
So rather than something we have already got
We'd appreciate some money for our IVF pot
But most importantly we request
That you join us as our wedding guest

so sorry yous cant have children i dont know any sites but i think using your own words would be more personal like if you just say my husband and i would be very grateful instead of a wedding gift if in your heart it would mean the world to us to ask you for a cash gift please dont be offended as sadly we cant have children and need the money for ivf to start our family please help us be blessed with this wonderful gift thanks hope this helps good luck

Someone done this on one born every minute Tuesday! What a lovely idea️Good luck! X

This is a wonderful idea. Me and my husband have had IVF and has to self fund too as he has previous children and we never thought of this idea. Wish we had. Took us a while to raise the money but I am currently pregnant and due in 5 weeks (first attempt) We did something called an egg sharing program witch help another couple to conceive and is slightly cheaper than a full cycle of IVF. Might be something worth looking into. Fingers crossed for you and good luck with everything.

Such a beautiful idea all the best xxx

I am so sorry to hear you are struggling but I wish all the luck, health and happiness in the world and I really hope you complete your family soon xxx

What a truly amazing gifts for your guests and loved ones to give you!! I'd happily chip in if I was coming. Very best of luck to you in your baby journey xx

I don't have any ideas but this is such a lovely idea. All the best to you both

I watched one born every min and they asked for donations s towards ivf instead of presents. If I was your guest and that's what you wanted I would be overjoyed to help in that way xx

I am looking to do the exact same thing me and h2b have done nhs funded unsuccessfully as went don't have any kids and are hoping to do a self funded 3rd round.

I dont no if this would help. Ive just thrown it together n thought it might help xxx ps congrats on ur wedding day xxxx

For ten years weve been a family
Without a child of our own
Wed love the chance to become parents
And fill up our family home.
But first wed like to get married
To become husband and bride
As theres no one that id prefer
To spend a lifetime by my side.
Life hasnt always been easy
And we cant make a child on our own
Many drs have offered to help us
But its costing way more than wed known
So wed like to ask you for your help
As gifts for our house we dont need
Just maybe a little donation

Try this one :
We know it isn't traditional
Or how it is done
But rather than a wedding gift
We like a daughter or a son

So if you would like to give us a gift
And help us on the way
A donation to our ivf fund
Would really make our day xxx

Very best of luck to you xxx

If YOU haven't had a child you should still be eligible for NHS I believe. Might be wrong but that's what I've always been lead to believe x

Once upon a time our Fairytale began. And ever since we are as one, happy and complete. There is one dream we hope to fulfill together...to become a loving parents. We kindly invite you to our special day to share our happiness and ... what we about to say... we hope to rise the money for our IVF. It means everything to us. May you wish to give us a gift we appreciate it as a donation towards our dream.

I think that is a wonderful idea try google xx

Ahh the couple on one born the other night did this also. It's a lovely idea. Wish you luck

I admit,i do not give money as gifts but this is the one reason where I would.

Although I can't help, I wanted to wish you luck with your pending treatment & a wonderful wedding day x

Sorry I don't know any poems but I just wanted to say to u... It doesn't sound odd X good luck X I'm sure ur family and friends will want to help u in any way possible X

I'm not sure about poems etc but check out serum clinic in Greece. Higher success rates than UK and it is cheaper than UK IVF even when you include flights and accommodation. Good luck. X

Hi I wrote this for you

We have ourselves, We have each other
And now we'd like to add another

Something small and tiny for which we'll care
With abundance of love and snuggles to share

But we could do with some magic, To make our dreams come true
And this my friends you could help with too

We're on our way our journeys started
You'll watch us say we'll never be parted
And if you were thinking of giving a gift
we'd appreciate your help making our family life shift
To that special place, where two become three
Adding pink or blue too our family

IVF is what we need
For our "happy ever after" plans to proceed

We don't need gifts, plates or pans
but we will need help, maybe a supporting hand
And any gift you give would go toward
Helping our family become three.....
Or maybe four.....

Just write the reality... most people will understand and agree with you.... "we've been together many years and already made a house our home! Although your attendance is all we ask, if you would like to give a gift to help us celebrate our day, we ask that you donate money towards our IVF fund so we can make our dreams come true and turn our family of 2 into 3!"
