POEM HELP

I need help for a cute poem to put on the front of a card. We are sending our guests notes asking them to send us a few of their favorite songs and/or artists to add to our play list to make our reception music more 'custom' to our guests rather than the bride/groom.

Can anyone help!?!??! I don't even know where to start. THANKS

Re: POEM HELP

just a word of caution - it is really hard for DJ's to get to every request - even when the list is just for y ou. My DJ did a great job but there are certain songs he just couldn't get to. I think there is room for something like 80 songs at a 4 hour wedding (taking into consideration intro, cake, bo-k, parent dances, other spotlight dances) - I don't know how many people you are having at your wedding, but if it's over 50 or so you may not want to do this - or maybe just send this card to several people who are closest to you guys. would people feel looked over if the song that they responded with was never heard? I would compile a list of songs on YOUR must play list and see how much room is left over. good luck!

Re: POEM HELP

This is what I have come up with so far...maybe someone can help build off of this:

Please give us a hand
With your favorites for the band.

Re: POEM HELP

To get you up and dancing,
We hope you'll chose a song
Please send us a request
to keep the floor packed all night long

We might not get to every choice,
we do not have all night,
but knowing what you'd like to hear
Will help make our wedding outa sight!

Cheesy, I know, but I couldn't think of something to rhyme with night
