I have been thinking about this forever! What I finally decided: mini organza bags filled with M&M's in our colors and the donation tags tied to the bag on each plate. The bags are really cheap, but the M&M's are running me a little over $100.

how about those rubber wristbands? Preferrably in the color of your charity that's probably so used! I like the idea of the M&Ms....

We are donating to the Amer. cancer society, so they will send us the livestrong (yellow) bracelets. I kind of didn't want them on the tables though (bright yellow isn;t exactly in the color scheme, lol) so we are putting them in a basket on a table along with the explanation of the donation :)

maybe you can attach the bracelets to a little bag of the confetti with the ribbon on it with your names/date

I don't know how to attach photos...i've tried so if I don't do it...ours are in my album under DIY. We're donating to the Wildlife and I attached the tag to a pink pail...our colors are pink & the theme is beachy.

thanks shes doing amazing! Maybe you can relate the donation to a small present, I think the cookies with our color painted on, initials on it and wrapped are like $1.00 each, so its not that expensive either.

I guess it depends what you are donating to, but for our Autism Society donation, I attached autism awareness bracelets to the card with a ribbon.
I also considered the autism ribbon pins....

You can make a custom label for mini chocolate bars. I am using 2x3 thank you candy bars and making a wrapper. They are fairly easy to print and make and you can just change th wrapper. Also you can get the thank you bar mold in michaels
