Ladies who like to donate

I know a lot of us are doing donations as favors, not sure if anyone else has read but there are more ways to donate after your wedding.

I thought it was neat, considering I do not live here whatever flowers i do i have left i am so donating them!

Consider donating your wedding flowers when the ceremony and reception are over. Your leftover flowers can be distributed to the sick or elderly, and are certain to brighten their day.
Think about donating your leftover food. Most caterers are only going to dispose of the remaining portions of food anyway, so why not request to have the leftovers distributed to local food banks?
Your wedding dress and your bridesmaids' dresses can be donated to charity. These dresses can be resold at a fraction of the cost to a bride who cannot afford her gown, and the maids' gowns often get donated to underprivileged teenagers as prom dresses. There is also a charity called Making Memories that will happily accept your new or used gown, and then resell it, with all the profits going to Breast Cancer charities.

I dont know it was just something I found online as i was googling how to word favor donations.

I was planning on donating my food to Island Harvest..but I was told by another bride that Westbury Manor already donates to a foodbank, you just have to let them know.

I think donating the flowers to a hospital or nursing home is another nice idea.
