Request Donations in Lieu of Gifts
Attending or planning a wedding this summer? Make a donation instead of bringing a gift. This can be in honor of the bride and groom or in memory of someone special to them.
Use our online tribute tool to create your own special donation Web page. Link to it from your other wedding Web sites. In place of wedding favors, make a donation in honor of your guests. Let them know of your donation by using our scroll template. Donate your flowers to a memory care unit at a local nursing home. Incorporate a service project into your shower or engagement party – volunteer at a local nursing home or make memory books.
