Giving Back and charitable wedding choices?

Laura, on January 28, 2020 at 4:10 PM Posted in Planning 0 8

Is anyone doing something cool with regard to giving back to the community or world at large? I learned that "Eddy K dress sales help fund our [their] ongoing commitment to supporting Plan International’s Because I am a Girl initiative to end child marriage." Fortunately, my dress is an Eddy K dress. And I love that so much! I have asked guests to "do a random act of kindness for another person/group/organization" as a gift we'd love. What are some other ways that you can think of to give back? Donating flowers (to a nursing home or hospital - or hospice) or your dress to organizations that use them to help their cause? Recycling wedding decor?

What can you think of? I can wait to spread the happiness of us as a couple and our guests with others. Smiley heart

    Not sure if this counts but we will be making a donation to a charity in lieu of favors.

    My sister is gay and is doing charitable donation to an Lqbt organization in lieu of favors and is also asking for people to send donations instead of gifts for her bridal shower.

    We didn't do really anything listed, but we did give away the wedding decor we didn't want to save forever. We just donated it to other brides that were interested. I've also donated all my old bridesmaids dresses to an organization for girls that need prom dresses.

    I have definitely thought about doing the flower thing! I'll have to look into that again.

    I'm preserving my dress until I decide what to do with it (give to a daughter, donate, upcycle, etc.) But I'll definitely do something.

    You could also look for buying things where a portion of the sales proceeds goes to some kind of organization.
