Donation Language

Ladies -

We have decided that we are going to make a donation as part of our 'favor'. We are also going to have tiny personalized mint boxes. I am putting together business card size cards to announce the donations. Since we are also including the mint boxes, it isn't 'in lieu of' of a favor. Looking for any assistance with language for the cards.

Thanks!!!

We did ours on post cards from VistaPrint...
So it may be longer than you need... but it says:

'We are so blessed to be celebrating this day
surrounded by the people we love.

How do we appropriately say thank you
for sharing our wedding day with us and
for all the love and support you’ve given us?

Since our wish has come true on this day,
we feel the finest of gifts we could give is one
which gives others their wishes too.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes
of children with life-threatening medical
conditions to enrich the human experience
with hope, strength, and joy.

So, in lieu of a traditional wedding favor,
we have made a donation in your honor to
The Make-a-Wish Foundation.

With Love and gratitude,
David and Emily

In lieu of a favor,

Animal Rescue & Adoption

We truly appreciate
your being part
of our special day.

The format got a little messup up but this is the text

The American Cancer Society has a wedding favor donation thing. Check out their website for various wording options.

btw - we did the bookmark one, option 3, with the same wording. Came out lovely.

I am using Vistaprint, too. I made my engagement party invites and save the dates using them to. Great prices!!!!

Does this sound ok?

'We have chosen a special way to say thank you for sharing our wedding day with us. We have made a charitable donation in your honor to The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA) in honor of Marianne Hanson, FH's Aunt. We feel the finest gift is one which helps others live longer and healthier lives.
We truly appreciate your being part of our special day.
