donations

for those doing donations as a favor, how are you presenting this to your guests? a card, scroll etc? and how do you plan on wording it?

any help is appreciated

I am attaching a scroll to a box of Godiva's or Lind't chocolates. This is my wording:



To Our Family and Friends


With much thought and consideration,
we have chosen a special way
to say “Thank You” for sharing
our wedding day with us.

In lieu of a traditional wedding favor,
we have made a donation in your honor
to the American Diabetes Association,
to help fight this disease and one day find a cure.

We feel the finest gift is one which helps
others live longer and healthier lives.
This gift is given in special recognition of XXX,
the brides father, who shares in our joy today.

We truly appreciate your being
part of our special day.


All Our Love,
B & K

Thanks for the compliment. I actually did write it myself but i had help from the girls on this site that helped me perfect it.

Here's what we put into the program

To add to the joy of our special day, we have decided to make a gift in your honor to the Nassau Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help make a dream come true for a special child. In lieu of a favor, please accept this gift and take a moment to read the letter we received as a thank you, which is on the place card table.

Also doing hugs and kisses using a poem I found on here

curly

Great poem -

QUESTION...

Is this guy clapping of giving a hug? I wanted to use it my last post but I'm not sure...

We made a donation to the American Cancer Society. A rep in their donation department helped us put together a scroll-the wording was almost the same as curly's.

We rolled them up, tied with ribbon and attached a tulle bag of almonds. They were set out at each place setting.

I think that making a donation is a wonderful gesture that your guests will appreciate.

Good luck!!

thanks ladies!
