Charity Favours

IGB2B, 4 March, 2014 at 21:01 Posted on Planning 0 9

After lots and lots of thinking about favours, I've decided to get charity favours. Is anyone else going down this route? I'm just getting simple ones from Macmillan Cancer. They are little seed packs inside name place cards. I love the idea of my guests planting flowers and thinking of our wedding when they grow. But the main thing for me is that we are doing a little but to help others.

Cancer Research also do wedding favour pin badges. Does anyone know any other charities who do wedding favours?

    Hi,

    I think most charities do the pins, I emailed the MS Society to see if they did as I couldn't find anything on their website and they told me they did them. So I will be ordering from them in the next few months.

    If there's another charity you want to look at, I'd email them to ask Smiley smile

    Good luck Smiley smile

    Heres one from a few years back, they were pinned to the place names, and then I think they had a seperate card on each table with a few words about them and why.

    We are doing charity favours. We got some from the local Cancer Research shop, notepads, pens, magnets etc and we have got some pens from a local animal charity too.

    Oooh I love the idea of seed packets, I've seen it not related to charity and wanted them but if I can blend my love of nature and charity together than all the better! I wrote about a few other charity ideas and breast cancer favours here: https://www.mariannechua.com/alternative-wedding-inspiration-3-ways-to-do-good-things-for-charity-at-your-wedding/

    Love the seeds idea.

    We are thinking of having charity favours as well, we are having mini versions of our wedding cake as cupcakes for our favours but going to try attach a pin from our chosen charity to the cupcake box somehow

    We are pinning Cancer Research badges to our name place cards, with a request that people wear them in memory of the much loved family and friends who cant be with us on the day

    Between us, we have lost my grandfather and brother, and my OH's grandfather and Mum to Cancer. His Mum only died last April so I hope everyone will see the significance of the badges

    Love those seeds - I wasn't going to do favours at all but I really like the fact that they double as a place card and are easy for people to put in their pocket/bag. And it would be a nice way to remember my lovely mum. Thanks for posting them.
