Donations to Charities as Favors????
This year my mothe is a ten year breast cancer survivor. So, I was thinking of doing favors for the guests as a donation in their name to a breast cancer charity. As a guest would you be disapointed not to recieve a traditional favor?

Re: Donations to Charities as Favors????
I think this is a great idea too! Sometimes as cute as favors are, they become clutter once I ge them home. As a guest, I much prefer the donation. A cousin of FH has MS, so we are also donating. It adds another personal touch to the wedding.

Re: Donations to Charities as Favors????
Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm going to go with it. I sort of think the food and dancing is enough of a gift for the guests.

Re: Donations to Charities as Favors????
We are going to make a donation as well. I was thinking of splitting it...donate to 2 charities. One to an animal charity and the other to breast cancer (FMIL is a 5 year survivor). We'll also provide a scroll indicating this as a favor along with some sort of candy.

Re: Donations to Charities as Favors????
I am donating as well. My mother is a very recent breast cancer survivor. I am donating to the hospital unit she stayed at post her mastectomy! they will honor her with a plaque on the wall of the unit. I think its a great idea. Most people hate dust collectors anyway. I will be attaching a small tag to a small box of truffles stating a donation was made in honor of my mom.

Re: Donations to Charities as Favors????
We are doing donation favors to the American Cancer Society. They make up beautiful scrolls and they do "in memory of...", "in honor of...", or a general one. They are beautiful and I think its a wonderful idea.
