So.. i see a lot of people who make donations instead of favors also give out some small favor with it. (ex. donating to breast cancer research then giving a key chain, box etc with the pink ribbon on it).
I'm looking to donate to the american cancer society and american heart association. I don't want to do the livestrong bracelets since my aunt gave them out to the fam a few years ago.
Anyone have ideas?

I did a donation to 5 charities and we gave personalized CDs as the tangible favor. It had all the music from the wedding on it as well as our e-pics burned on the front as a 'cover' (father/bride dance, mother/groom dance, entrance songs, etc.) we got a ton of compliments on it. DH and I did it as a DIY.

This is such a great idea. What did you use to make the pics on the CDs?

hmm.. that could be an option.
I was thinking of a small favor that's somehow related to the two charities we are donating to.

i decided to do hershey kisses (i didnt want to spend too much $) so i am getting hershey kisses from BJ's, organza bags, and i found a vendor on ebay that prints labels that go on the bottom of the hershey kiss - you can choose a pic for the label and have your names on it too. maybe the pic could be the ribbon for your charity.

You could also get candy that's in the shape of hearts for the heart society or order mm's in the colors that relate to the charities

I did a donation to MS and the favor tag on the chocolate trufles that I bought had the info- I got the chocolates from truffle trolley- they were really reasonable price wise

I found this seller on ebay that does wooden scented roses for pretty decent prices. I am thinking about it along with a donation.
im doing the bracelets so I am no help lol .. But you could always get a pin from the organization or make the ribbon pins and attach them to the favor cards or put them in a box.
