Wedding Guest Gifts: Gifts that Give Back

Charitable giving as part of your wedding is a great way to honor a loved one who may not have been able to be a part of your special day or if you feel passionate about a certain cause, it’s a great way to stay true to your beliefs while giving back.

 If the idea of making a charitable contribution on your wedding day appeals to you there are outlets to help you with the process.  If you are not sure what organization you would like to support, you can do some research on CharityNavigator.org.  Charity Navigator is America's largest independent charity evaluator and provides a charity's performance - their financial health and their accountability & transparency. 

It’s good to do your research because if you are going to give, you want to give to a charity that will do good work with your money!  No matter what type of guest gift you decide to go with, if it’s something that you enjoy as a couple, you can rest assured that your guests will enjoy it too!
