Donation Favors

For those of you that are doing donations, are you putting tags on all of your favors saying what charity you have donated to or just like a 5x7 card on the table?

Wondering which is the best way to present it.

TIA.

Re: Donation Favors

I'm doing a frame with a letter inside of it stating what it was donated towards.

I MIGHT also do small chocolates too.

I am putting a tag around the jar filled with coffee beans that a donation will be made to the American Cancer Society.

Re: Donation Favors

If you are giving additional favors on top of the donation, I think you should put an individual tag on each favor.

If you're not giving additional favors (I don't think they're necessary when you're doing a donation) I think you should put an announcement in a frame (or two for each table, so everyone sees it)

I was going to do frames, but now I'm thinking Hershey's Kisses or something. I should probably stick with the frames since I already have them.

I think we are going to either put it on the napkin with the menus, that way we're sure people see it!

Re: Donation Favors

i was thinking about doing a donation to the north shore animal league...and making little dog bone cookies to give out as favors and attaching a tag saying something like 'a donation was made to the north shore animal league'...

Re: Donation Favors

I was going to ditch the frames and use them as placecard frames and then go the way of candy for a favor - kisses or something.

Re: Donation Favors

We are going to do little index card size stationary on each table setting stating we donated and then either chocolates or cookies to go.

Re: Donation Favors

I am probably going to do a box of candy or something and then attach the ribbon to the box....OR if I dont do the candy favors I am going to make 'scrolls' and put it at each place setting for guests to know
