I'm thinking about donating to charity instead of giving out favors. Any feedback?
we are giving a donation to the nassau-suffolk autism society of america, since we are both special education teachers for students with autism. we are not giving anything else.
I think that a donation in lieu of 'traditional' favors is beautiful, particularly if the donation is made to an organization that is special to the family in someway - like the Autism foundation to the special ed teachers, or the Breast Cancer foundation for a bride or groom that have lost their mom or Grandmother to the disease, etc. Weddings have become such a display of excess that I think donation favors make a real spiritual statement - I also feel that most favors become dust collectors and are a terrible waste of money.
I went to a wedding where they had a small scroll explaining the donation & attached it with a ribbon to CD's the couple had made of their favorite songs.
