It came out beautiful!
Great job
ETA: The only thing I would fix, is the wishing well saying. You need to make sure everyone knows you're referring to the "wishing well" gifts.

Re: Can you give me some feedback?
Love it! But what does a romantic and sexy gift mean? Undies? I wouldn't know what it meant!

I'm confused as well. Does she want lingerie for her wishing well?  (That can be an expensive wishing well gift...)
Also, I personally wouldn't put the registry info on the invite itself. I'd insert the cards from BBB with the invite instead.

ITA.. BBB has registry cards with the number & everything. I'd put that in as an insert.
The design is beautiful & I love the 2 poems.

We were thinking candles, cds, games, a pair of undies, etc....nothing expensive. The bridesmaids really wanted her to have a wishing well....we're trying a theme to help her avoid getting all the little utensils and things people typically give in a wishing well!

Re: Can you give me some feedback?
Sorry, not of a fan of including ANY registry info. Call me old school but it seems as though an order gyou must go and buy me THIS (insert whatever this is), as in a demand for a present.
I have gotten plenty of invites that have the info and honestly, I shake my head back and forth every time.
eta- where are my manners, I should have started with how lovely I think they are.
Sorry

But isn't the *point* of a shower to "Shower them with gifts"?
I totally agree about other types of invitations ... but I think for a shower it is now acceptable.
Personally as a guest, I truly appreciate when someone registers ... it saves me a lot of energy trying to figure out what they might like!

Re: Can you give me some feedback?
I get the registering part. I just think it's common now. If I get a shower invite there is a huge probability that they are registered in one of 4 places, babies probably one of two.
I could be wrong (I have never officially looked this up) but I dont think showers were originally what tey have turned into today. Many showers happened after and many presents were handmade food. People came, one month AFER the baby was born and people came to welcome them into the world shower the baby with love and the momma with advice
I don't know where or how or why I have this notion in my head but it seems to be planted there.
I don't jusdge people very harshly on it, I wave my head, shrug my shoulders and move on with my day.

Re: Can you give me some feedback?
I don't mind the registry info on the invite. IMO I like it better only because I lose the registry card all the time 
I'm not so sure about the wishing well and sexy parts of the poem, maybe seperate them somehow?

In this particular instance, the invite is for a Bridal Shower.
Since you mentioned never having looked it up, and I realized I never did either ... I decided I would!
From Wikipedia:
A bridal shower is a gift giving party given for a bride before her wedding. The custom originated in the United States, although the first stories about these events have been known to originate in Brussels, Belgium around 1860. It remains a primarily US and Canadian practice. Showers are usually coordinated by the bridesmaids, who invite guests to offer gifts for the home of the bride and groom.
The custom of the bridal shower is said to have grown out of earlier dowry practices when a poor woman's family might not have the money to provide a dowry for her, or when a father refused to give his daughter her dowry because he did not approve of the marriage. In such situations, friends of the woman would gather together and bring gifts that would compensate for the dowry and allow her to marry the man of her choice. A frequently quoted legend traces the origin of this practice to sixteenth or seventeenth century Holland. However there are also parallels with many dowry practices and the US Colonial or hope chest (trousseau) custom.
