How many times have you been to a wedding and received a bag of Jordan almonds or the wedding-themed item that you won’t really use? The wedding favor never seems to be a top priority, but these days brides are looking for ways to personalize their wedding even more and they are changing the “norm” for favors. It is becoming more and more popular to make donations in honor of the guests or for a loved one. It is important to choose the charity so that it reflects your beliefs and ideals. Choosing a charity can be difficult, but most choose something that perhaps has impacted their lives like cancer or diabetes. For example, its has become such a thing now that charities such as the American Diabetes Association have made cards to explain to guests how it works. Once the charity has been decided, how do you tell your guests? This can be done by cards that are placed on the table or perhaps by buying the “Livestrong” wristbands for your guests. Most other charities will supply you with cards to give to your guests. Remember that even though the favor is for the guest it doesn’t mean that you can’t still make it representative of who you are and what you believe in.
