on the tags we put ' to honor our loved ones affected by cancer, a donation has been made to the lance armstong cancer fund'
and then our names and the date.... short and simple

I went to a wedding, where they gave us the cancer 'livestrong' bracelets along with a personal home made donation annoucement, it was very touching..and by the end of the reception everyone was wearing their bracelets...

you can do ribbons or pins or anything that goes along with your donation

This is what we are using

To Our Family & Friends

With much thought & consideration,
we have chosen a special way
to say “Thank You’ for sharing

In lieu of a traditional wedding favor,
we have made donations to the

We feel the finest gift

Dear Family and Friends

Thank you for being part of our special day. In Lieu of a traditional wedding favor, we have made a special donation to:

The American Heart Association

In memory of George W. Kozlowski

The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is to reduce disability and death from cardiovascular disease and stroke.

With more than one million Americans dyeing from heart disease each year, there is a significant community of patients, family members, caregivers, and friends who all share scientists’ hope that many of these deaths can be prevented.

With all our love,
Lu-Ann & Christopher

I went to a wedding where the couple donated to the MS Society

On a scroll it said:

In lieu of a favor, a donation has been made to the Multiple Sclerosis society in memory of XX XX.

That was followed by a statement about the MS society and its main function. The scroll was tied with ribbon and on the knot, they attached a pin from the MS society.

I am so in love with this idea!!!! I really want to do it and donate to a Colon Cancer foundation (My fiance's mom died of colon CA).....but my mom isn't keen on the idea. She actually said 'egh, people want to leave with a little something'...i am so mad and, pretty much heart broken. I think i might just overrule her and do it anyway.

You can always attach a small something (edible maybe) to the donation card
