I had originally thought about some type of candy bag. But since my engagement, my grandfather passed away. He had fought a long hard battle with cancer and it took him from us. I then thought about maybe making a donation to the American Cancer Society in honor of my guests. This is very close to my heart as well as my fiances. I thought I might make a small bookmark or something to let my guests know of the donation in their honor. Any ideas on how I could manage this?

[QUOTE]I just saw the post all about favors. I decided that we will do some type of favor and then also make a donation to the American Cancer Society in memory of my grandfather.

Amber: First, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved grandpa.
But I'm glad that you realize that a donation to the ACS in his memory isn't a favor for your guests.
By all means, make your donation to ACS. But there isn't any reason to make that part of your wedding. I wouldn't even be announcing it at the wedding.
Have a candle for your grandpa if you'd like. Have him mentioned in a prayer. Mention him in your program.
Just don't announce the donation. Because they are two completely separate issues: your wedding and your donation have no connection to each other.
Again, I hope each day gets easier for you. My mom died 3 weeks before DD's wedding. It was hard for DD to know that her beloved grandma wasn't with her on her wedding day.
