Mandatory, why not give your guests something that they won’t put away into their ‘wedding favors for which I cannot find any practical use’ drawer?
How About Giving a Wedding Favor That is a Charitable Donation?When I was planning my wedding, I wanted to give my guests something meaningful…something that meant a lot to me. As I was thinking about this and cleaning out my closet (I was moving..I don’t do this often!), I noticed a small bag sitting in the corner. I opened it and out fell a variety of wedding favor trinkets..paper fans, plastic doves, key chains … all very cute, but none of which I had ever used. As I wondered if my guests would also keep my wedding favors in a bag in the corner of their closet, I decided that I was going to make a donation to a charity in their honor. Volunteering and giving back is something that I do myself and thought a donation would be a great way of honoring my guests. After all, isn’t that the greatest form of appreciation?
A pediatrician by training and a creative dreamer by heart, I realized how much I loved ‘all things wedding’ while planning my own. Blissfully married in November 2008, I continue to be involved in the wedding planning process through my friends. I actually never dreamed about my wedding as a child nor did I pencil it into my life plan. All I know, is that the right guy came along, and I wanted my wedding to be everything he brought into my life: Love, laughter and more joy than I could ever dream. And that’s exactly what happened.
