Wedding Favors That Make a Difference

How many wedding favors have you gotten that wind up in the trash or just collect dust somewhere in your house?  My husband and I attended a wedding where the bride and groom made a donation in the name of each guest to the American Heart Association and gave each guest a red American Heart Association bracelet with a tag attached letting them know that they made that donation in their name.  Seriously...how awesome is that!  There are so many different foundations out there that could benefit from this generous gift idea...please spread the word and lets make this a trend.  Many foundations sell small items where the proceeds go to research like pins, koozies, pens, etc.  So before you go spending your money on a favors think about giving the gift that could save a life or maybe even millions of lives one day.
