Charity Wedding Favours

Hello!

We're doing this for our favours, but plan on having a few charities and pinning them to placecards ourselves.

Is this what you're after?

We had charity wedding favours - Cancer Research notepads/keyrings etc in memory of H's Mum and brother, and Animals in Need pens in memory of some of our rats. They went down well with our guests and were very personal to us because of the causes. We just printed some little cards ourselves explaining why we had chosen the favours.

The hospice my dad was in before he died do scratch cards as favours. They're a pound each and they guarantee one of your guests will win a 1000. However I can't afford them as they'll be 1000 pounds for us.

They also do childrens activity packs so i might buy them. 100 percent of the money goes to the hospice so that makes me feel better about buying them

Do you mean these?

Although they are very girly so not sure they would do for your male guests?

Ah thanks Calella and Miss Pickle - that's exactly what I was looking for

Do you think it would look odd with a person's name written on as well? I suppose I could always do it on the back!

Miss Pickle I know what you mean about them being girly - I guess I would hope that the male guests would understand why we have them and pass them on to someone in their life who was girly?! And even if they don't and I end up with a load of them, at least the money has already gone to charity.

CrazyRatLady I like the idea of printing out your own cards - that way I could put exactly what I wanted on them and just buy the pins.... something to think about!

McHelenz I love the idea of the children's activity packs! Can I ask which hospice it is (only if you don't mind sharing that info!)

I love Hitched. Everyone is so helpful

We really liked the idea of this but we wanted some kind of autism charity as 2 of our children have Asd. The only ones we can find are £6 each so way out if our favour budget ?

It's for the Douglas Macmillan Hospice in Stoke-on-Trent

Macmillan have some nice ones that come with seeds rather than pins which cud be less girly? Don't have a link tho sorry!

In the cancer research shop there is a choice of different pins!
