Favor placement question?

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.

well i would put one letter next to the guest book , because i like to be ecofriendly but. either way works

I'd do little business cards at each seat.

I would do both.
