Wedding contribution request messages (and a contribution list)
Updated 6 October 2026
Quick answer
Keep it warm and brief: announce the wedding, invite people to be part of it, mention that the committee is receiving contributions, and give one clear way to give (a MoMo number with the account name, or a link) and a deadline. Send it from the wedding committee rather than the couple, record every contribution, and thank everyone after the wedding.

How a wedding committee works
A wedding committee of friends (and sometimes family) supports the couple with money, planning and on-the-day help. Give it a chairperson, a treasurer who handles all contributions, and people responsible for the venue, decor and guests. Agree with the couple what the money will be used for, and report the total to them before the wedding.

Questions people ask
Is it okay to ask for wedding contributions?
Yes, it's common in Ghana, especially through a wedding committee of friends. Make it an invitation, never a demand, and thank everyone whatever they give.
Who should send the wedding contribution request?
Usually the wedding committee or a close friend, rather than the couple themselves.
