I recently read in a bridal mag how a couple donated on behalf of their guest to a charity of choice. Is anyone else doing this? I think is is an awesome idea and I am seriously considering doing this. Most guest usually just trash their favors(or at least I always do...lol)...maybe this way the money will be used for a good cause? Any thoughts? I would still give my guest some sort of gift, but I still like the donating idea...

Yes, we will also be donating in leiu, we are donating to 3 organizations; Heart & Stroke, Diabetes, and Cancer research, my FH and I have either had a family member suffer from one or more of the above. I lost my grandfather to a heart problem, also my aunt, and both had diabetes, His grandma also had cancer, and his grandpa has diabetes, all of these people are no longer with us to share our special day. I thought it would be a nice way to remember and honor them.
