I love the idea...for those who may think it's 'cheap' (as I heard someoe say once)they are selfish, ignorant, spineless human beings. ARHHHH it makes me so mad!

---

no i dont think that its 'cheap' - however, i donate a lot of money to charity throughout the year - i want my favors to express thanks to my guests s its just not the time or place for me to advertise a donation - JMO - NHF

---

To each their own, favors are great!
This is just another way of doing it ...but i think for people trying to remember loved ones etc.... its not 'advertising a donation....' everyone ive told in my family about it thinks its a fabulous idea and are thankful im remembering their loved ones as well... LOL im thanking my guests for coming and celebrating my day by giving them unlimited top shelf liquor, a great dinner and a huge party!

We are donating to charity as well. I love this idea. With all the weddings I've been to... at this point i've started to give the favors ( wine stopper, letter opener...ect.) away to friends..lol
I have no more room for any ,more favors.

i think donations are a great idea! very thoughful

i am giving out a favor though -i use or display all of my favors so i hope my friends and family will get use out of them!

my brother did a donation and gave out home made cookies - it was a hit!

geez i am glad that you girls are not invited to my wedding LOL

i am giving out crystal grated cheese holders ( or they can be used for sugar) i wouldnt throw something like that out!

I know how you feel. We're giving out Waterford crystald candy bowls. I'd hate to think someone would just throw that away.

but I do think donation favors are really nice too. The majority of my guests though wouldn't be too happy about it the only reason I know is because it's been done before and I've heard complaints about it.

Who would complain about waterford crystal, i wouldn't, thats nice!

I've heard many in my family complain about the mints and silver almonds in the backs of glass swans wrapped in a lovely colored cheese cloth....
I usually keep them for a year and then go 'why am i keeping this dusty stale candy?' and throw it out.... I wouldn't throw away crystal tho...

saddens me that people would actually complain about a donation being made than receiving a favor... but whatever thats whats so great about your own wedding... in the infamous words of Burger king, you get to 'have it your way!'

FYI: Those jordan almonds have a symbolic meaning

I know this, but after awhile they dont regain their original composure and eventually have to be disgarded...

thanks! Yea I didn't get why they were really that upset either but to each his own!

I think it's a great idea as well.

I guess it's becoming more 'common' for people to donate. I've never been to a wedding in the past where someone had done that. I've thrown out much that i've recieved and the only one I still have I never use (its a wine stopper-i rarely drink wine).

We're planning on donating to Susan G. Komen in honor of both our mothers (considered 'cured') and my grandmother (current) who are struggling with the disease.

I think its a great idea! We're going to do it as well.

I think we're going to split our donation between Susan G. Komen and the American Heart Association. We're lost loved ones to both breast cancer and heart disease, unfortunately.

I love the donation idea, but I can understand why people do favors, as well.
