Favors vs. donation

Hi Everyone! I'm not sure what to do about favors. I work for a school for autism, and I was thinking about making a donation in all my guests names instead of giving out favors. So the money that would go towards the favors would go to the school instead. But I am afraid my guests would prefer to walk away from the wedding with a favor. What do you think?

I think doing both is a nice option.
From how i look at donating money, this is something that can be done all year long, and doesnt need to be something that everyone knows you do. When i donate i like to keep it private. Sometimes it annoys me how people have to make sure everyone knows they donated money to a cause.

I also like to walk away from an event with something, wether it be a nick nack, or a piece of chocolate, or a tin of mints. Its nice to have something to remember the event.

totally agree Nicole, i dont like to tell people what and to whom i donated (which i do all year long) i do think its private and not the place - JMO

True, many people throw away favors, all the more reason to get something people will like, eat or use - not just because its 'cheap'
