A new spin on the charitable donation

Favorite Favor of the Week:


Introducing our very first "Favorite Favor" of the week.  Each week we will spotlight a favor idea that we just love.  Something fresh, a new take on a modern tradition.  This week's favorite comes courtesy of The Flirty Guide and is such a cute take on the now standard "donation in lieu of a favor."  

The bride and groom selected three charities and then put out three containers and some colored tokens.  The sign instructed guests to put their token into the container for the charity they preferred.  The happy couple then made donations to all three charities in proportion to how many tokens were collected.  So simple! So clever! So cute!

To personalize this idea for your own wedding, you could get creative with the containers: a dog bowl for a donation to your local shelter, a piggy bank in the shape of a heard for The Heart Association.  Try including the token on your escort cards to liven them up and then guests can drop off their token on their way into the reception.  What a great way to donate to a worthy cause and enable your guests to feel included!
