Wedding Scrolls Guests
Donating money in lieu of wedding favors?
My fiance and I were discussing wedding favors. I’ve been to plenty of weddings were the favors were just either left behind or thrown away once you got home. I don’t won’t to waste money on something that people don’t care about. So, we thought about donating money. I lost my father 5 yrs. ago to Brain Cancer and my fiancé’s aunt was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. I’ve been reading about donation online and it’s been mixed feelings. Some say its good while others say no. Has anyone ever done this at there wedding? Or any advice to give to me? Also ACS has a scroll they can print out to give to the guests to tell them about the donation but its pricey, anyone have suggestions on how to let the guest know what you have done? Thanks so much

My SiL had a framed note in the entry way next to the seating cards that denoted they were making a donation to a charity in lieu of larger favors (the groom lost his mother to some disease). That was a fine way to make the reference.
Honestly? I feel donating to charity is a personal thing and a great gesture. However, I don’t feel it has a place at a wedding. If the couple wants to donate to a charity, that’s cool, but they don’t need to glorify it by letting everyone know how socially aware they are. Just forgo the favors and the notice, people should donate to charity all the time, not just because they are getting married.
Due to research and education, I am well aware of how the funds are used in organizations and charities. Make sure if you DO donate, you know that the money is going directly to research, not marketing and paying people’s salaries.
Good luck!
