My fiance's mom is a breast cancer survivor. So when it came to planning our wedding we were toying with the idea of doing a donation instead of a favor on the table. My favorite season is fall, and we ended up selecting our wedding date to be in October, which also happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness month... so we have decided to make a donation to: Susan G. Komen for the Cure in place of a traditional wedding favor.
However, I somehow found some reviews online of people against this idea. Saying its not appropriate to make a donation on someone's be half if they don't support the cause. My first thought was, "oh well who doesn't support breast cancer research and assistance for early detection... and then randomly at work one of my closest coworkers announced she does not support this cause. She was quite verbal about it in a pleasant way if that makes sense and she is coming to the wedding. So now what? Do I just say screw it and do it anways? We already have 175 breast cancer rubber bracelets ready to go on the cards for tables. I just don't want to cause an issue.
