Wedding Gifts

We of course request your presence and not your presents but for those of you who are planning a gift....

As we will be flying back to the UK after the celebration, we kindly ask that guests do not bring boxed gifts as they will be difficult for us to ship back. As we will soon have a new house to fill (yay!) we have set up a gift list at John Lewis (we have made the choice easy by asking that you simply select gift certificates so we can decide what we need at a later time). 

The Gift List Number is 456477. The list is open for 8 weeks from 16 April 2011 and the website is www.johnlewisgiftlist.com/giftint/JSPs/GiftList/BuyGifts/GuestFindAList.jsp
