Wedding Wish Vase©

handmade by

Voorhees Pottery

Wedding Wishes©

A wish, a blessing, a poem, a thought;

Place your messages in this pot.

A year from now the notes we'll read,

Celebrating this new life we lead.

With kind words you had to say,

We'll remember well our wedding day.

Your Wedding Wish Vase© will bring you and your guests much enjoyment with a small amount of preparation. At the wedding reception consider placing the vase and poem card near the guest registry. Provide your guests with small writing tablets and pens and encourage their creative participation, knowing that they will help you recall all the memories of your special wedding time. Also, consider having it set up at showers and other pre-wedding gatherings.

When the appointed time comes, make a ceremony out of the vase opening. Molly and I enjoyed a weekend away and alone, a delicious meal and a bottle of fine wine. To open the vase I suggest that you invert it and cover the bottom with a washcloth and tap the center lightly with a hammer. The bottom has been trimmed very thinly and is perforated, with luck only the bottom will drop out. The writings can go into a scrapbook and the vase will become a cherished keepsake for years to come. Enjoy, and many blessings! David

We know your gift will be treasured!
