April is
high time for summer wedding planning fever. By this time, you should have a venue, a dress (or tux), a caterer, a cake
bakery...and wedding favors.
I recently went to a wedding where the bride and groom, instead of giving guests some useless trinket that will get thrown away within three hours of the last dance, or a tiny tulle and chiffon sack filled with disgusting pastel candy-coated almonds, simply left a small slip of paper at each person's place-setting with a note that said in lieu of spending $3 a person on a wedding favor, they had chosen instead to donate to a charitable organization. They had listed three organizations and each guest was allowed to choose which organization they wished their $3 to go to. That is awesome. (By the way, I chose the Red Cross.)
If you're having a wedding with 100 guests, you could be sending $300 to a charity that aids in hunger relief.
