Charitable Donations as Wedding Gifts - 3 More days to the Royal Wedding

Royal Wedding Countdown - 3 more days!!!

I don't know about all of you, but I absolutely love the idea by Prince William & almost-Princess Kate, of charitable donations in lieu of wedding gifts. I think it's thoughtful, considerate and a gift
of hope to a charity in the couples honor. It truly is the Gift to get a couple who has it all!


For years, charitable donations in guests' honor have been donated by the couple in lieu of wedding favors. It's even been a request by the couple as
part of 'kissing' games; drop a few dollars in a candy jar for them to kiss. Recently, our good friends at Event Decorator won first place for an absolutely breathtaking table-top display at the CSEME show. The display included a Wishing Fountain where guests would drop a coin in provided by the couple and make a wish; but, how perfect would it be to have that displayed at your wedding and have the wishing coins converted to a dollar figure, collected and given to a charity to make all wishes come true!
