<\/h3>\n

We have\u00a0always thought the idea of giving a donation in lieu of a wedding favor<\/strong>\u00a0as a nice idea. The couple can focus on a\u00a0worthy cause that gets a nice chunk of money that would otherwise go to something small and probably not all that significant.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0started asking around and were a little shocked to find that\u00a0donation wedding favors<\/strong>\u00a0upset some guests. We heard that either guests didn\u2019t like the\u00a0choice of organization for political or social reasons or the guest thinks charity is a private matter and that announcing the donation in lieu of a wedding favor is tacky. But with careful planning, we\u00a0think there is a way to tastefully and tactfully communicate the donation when delivering the favor. Below we found the best sayings and quotes to use when you give a donation in lieu of a wedding favor.<\/p>\n
