anyone not doing favor
I think I am going to do them because I can't find one that I really like. I really HATE this 172 days and I still can't make up my mind

Re: anyone not doing favor
Im doing a Donation.... what about doing something like that to a cause that you and/ or your FH feel strongly about?
or in memory of someone you lost to it?
and then you could do a bookmark or scroll... and i think they look so elegant at the place settings. At least its something that People will benefit from

Re: anyone not doing favor
I think donations are great as well!! I think we are donating to the Breast Cancer society as both my grandmothers are breast cancer survivors. A little close to the heart.....

Re: anyone not doing favor
We're not planning on doing favors. We'll do a donation in memory of my father to the cancer society.
We haven't decided but I might make decorative confetti (jordan almond) holders to put on the plates...only if we can make them for cheap.

Re: anyone not doing favor
We are not really doing a formal favor...but we will be putting our placecards in the placecard frames, and we will also be having a little goody bag for guests as they leave...it will contain Krispy Kremes and the Perfect Blend coffee pack with our names on it (donuts and coffee!!  )

Same here! It was such a relief making that decision...we know it'll be money well spent!

Re: anyone not doing favor
We're making a donation to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation. Also, my company will match what we donate so it's double what we're able to give.

Re: anyone not doing favor
We were orginally donating to Catholic Big Brothers but due to a long story that will not be happening. Now we are doing a donation to the relief effort in Asia. People will be forgetting the needs due to the Tsnami by then.
We are also giving each guest a lottery ticket on a card that says "We hit the Jackpot when we met, hopefully you will too!" Hopefully I can make the cards myself to keep the costs down. I was going to do one per couple but then I saw potential problems with this.

I think the donation idea is so fabulous. We are going to do it too.
Here too. Since we are getting married on July 4th we are going to donate to a Veterans organization or make up goodie-boxes for the soldieers in Iraq.
My students just participated in Operation shoebox so we might so that or the VA hospital in Northport since we live so close.
I'm thinking of donating all of my centerpieces to a hospital as well. When my Dad was in the hospital for 11 days as a result of a stroke he received a lot of gifts and company but there are so many elderly people who don't. I think a donated centerpiece would delight an elderly patient especially one whose family isn't visiting often.
