Wedding favors are great way to show appreciation to your wedding guests. But let's be honest, nobody really wants a tin of mints, box of chocolates, or an ornament with someone else's name on it.
Consider donating money to your favorite charity in lieu of wedding favors. You could select a charity that would personally relate to you. For example, if someone in your family has breast cancer, you could donate to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. This will add a personal touch to any wedding reception.
To make guests aware of the donation cards can be placed in the reception area.
In addition to donating to a good cause, the bride and groom will find that this can be more economical than spending five to ten dollars per person.
Guests are excited to know that in honor of their presence a contribution will be made for a good cause.
