I need help with wording for donation favors.

We are doing the CD favors, but we also decided to donating to the Bide-A-Wee.

We are animal lovers, 1 dog (Hershey), 1 puppy (Sargeant), 1 cat (Mr. Giggles) and a tank full of fish. We bring all our animals, except the fish to Dr. Molly at the Bide-A-Wee in Westhampton, she and her staff are wonderful.

What I want to do is add the information that we donated to the Bide-A-Wee on the CD insert. I am still not sure where, I want to put the information on the insert.

But I am not sure of the wording?

Any ideas?

Do I put how much the donation was for?

Do you want long or short? We used a program template (tri-fold) and wrote a long note to our guests. If you want, I can post it, but it is long, so it may not be what you're looking for.

Do NOT put the amount that you donated.

Hi Jann, PLEASE post or if you are more comfortable you can FM me.

How is married life treating you? I love your first post on the newlywed board, the 'excuse me, pardon me etc...' So funny and cute!

To you, our closest family and friends…

We have been lucky enough to find in each other love and support that will last a lifetime, much like the love and support that we have in you.
The ability to lend our support to those causes that we hold near and dear is just as important to us as is your love and encouragement.
In recognition of the support that you have given to us, we have made donations in your honor to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America and the UJA-Federation of New York.
We feel so fortunate to have you in our lives and to have you here with us, sharing the day we become a family.
We only hope that this token of our love and respect for you can help those less fortunate.

With much gratitude and love,
Jann and Adam


Married life is great. Although I don't feel really different because we've lived together for 4 years, there's definitely something about being able to call him my husband that changes things. Thanks for asking!

I think we will do both. I have been donating to St. Judes for over a decade, I think we should do both. That's my gut feeling.

Thanks Jann.

Phil and I have been living to together for over 4 years too. So, I have been wondering if it will feel different once we are married.

This was the wording we used...

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 honor of Jennifer, we have made a donation to the
Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association,

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.

AT first I was 'iffy' about a donation but now I definately want to do it. My father passed away two years ago, and we are going to make a donation in his name.

Thanks for the great wording ideas.

We used this.....its kinda corny but so are we! We donated to a lung cancer no prof b/c dh's mom passed away 364 days before our wedding....
(we also gave christmas ornaments!)
