Many engaged couples are choosing to donate to a charitable organization in lieu of giving their guests traditional wedding favors. Many choose an organization that is dear to them or, perhaps, one they volunteer for or make donations to themselves. When choosing this option, the couple should notify guests that a donation has been made in their name to a certain organization instead of them receiving a favor. This is quite simple and can be worded how the bride and groom wish.
