Donation Card Wording ?

Hey Ladies,

FH and i are leaning much more towards Donations now instead of favors. What are you all writing on the cards for your guests to know you are doing donations. Im stuck!

TIA

Also if you are donating.. the charity should give you something to give to the guests. I know many charties dont and think thats not right! St. Juse had these to me in just a week or two. They wre amazing and so thankful for our doation that they called us over nad over again !

Thanks for posting this question I was thinking of doing a donation instead of actual favors myself.

Question: do you give a card informing of the dontation to each guest/couple? or like 1 per table or something?

im doing either one for every other person at a table - or one per person (though i dnt think 1 per person is really needed)
