Favor placement question?
So instead of the normal favors we are donating money to Children's Hospital Boston in the name of our guests. My question is do I make up little cards to go at each place setting or should I do a large framed letter to my guests to be put on the guest book/card table? I want to make sure everyone sees it so they don't think I was just being a cheapo and didn't want to do favors (ot about the money honestly, I just wanted to give to a charity that is close to our heart). I notice alot of time people don't notice the little cards on the tables when there is a centerpiece and the plates, etc.
Thoughts?

I liked it when they had individual cards at each seat. It seemed more personal to the guests because they had their own little "gift" and they are more likely to actually read it and think about it.

I think you should do an announcement. Maybe after dinner say something funny like
"I bet you are wondering where those cutesy little favors are that you get at most weddings. Come on people let's be honest with each other. How many of you have actually used or kept a favor from someone else's wedding? Instead we decided to donate to a charity close to my heart..."
And go from there.

Great idea!
I did similar, we did invitation size cards with a little note and framed them and palces one per table next to the centerpiece. Some guests even gave us $$ for an additional donation.

I love this idea! We are doing the same for our wedding as well. And I encourage my clients to do it as well. It is definitely becoming a wonderful new trend.
I would suggest making a large sign near the guest book as well as make an announcement to your guests during the reception. While you are being charitable, why not be eco-friendly as well and save a few trees!

I'm glad you skipped the favors. it's enough you're paying to feed and entertain your guests at the reception, they don't need an additional meaningless tchochke. put 1 small sign on each table and at some point during the reception, the guests will all have a chance to read it.

The bride & groom can announce it at their wedding reception. It would be more personable coming from you. It's a great idea! Best Wishes!

That is a beautiful idea! I would do both, personally, and make a speech to be sure everyone knows.
