In lieu of wedding favors I'd like to make donations to the American Heart Association (in honor of my FH's deceased uncle), and the American Cancer Society (in honor of my deceased grandparents). My cousin did this at her wedding when I was 12 and it's stuck with me since then as something that was so much nicer and more meaningful than a little wedding favor. Plus, in my opinion, this is a much better use of the money, because I don't think anyone trulyyyy wants a silly favor like a magnet with my FH and my initials, or a bag of Hersey kisses or something. My mom is insisting that this idea is tacky, saying "if you want to make a donation to a charity, just do it- you don't need to show it off to everyone"... I suppose I understand this thought process, and since this is not my intention at all, I'm just curious to hear what you all think!
My FH is still on the fence as far as what he thinks on the issue, and we've got lots of time before we have to decide anything... just wanted some outside input.
Thanks in advance!!!
