We were planning on making a donation to a charity very important to us instead of favors. It is in honor of my fiance's mother who passed away of cancer recently. Any ideas of how to tell people that we are making a donation instead of favors. Should we place individual things at each table setting or just one table about the charity when people come in? Any ideas would help. Thanks!
Re: Donations as favors
Hope this Helps!
It's a donation. It's wonderful. I like donations. I make them myself. But unless your guests specifically say "Oh, don't give me a favor. I'd prefer a donation to XYZ" what you're doing is not for them.
So make your donation, but don't announce it or pretend that you're doing something FOR your guests. Because you're not.
