I made these signs for our signature drinks and donation favors. One would go on the place card table, and then on each of 3 bars. I really like them cause they incorporate my colors of pink & silver, but not sure if its too much. I love bling, but can get carried away, so please tell me if u like these or if they are tacky. Thanks!

    On my invites, there were two rhinestones on the actual invite and then I wanted them on each insert as well. FI hated that, so my friends and family got rhinestones on inserts and his friends and family just got the ones on the main invite haha all about compromise:)

    Love them!  If you don't mind me asking what was your wording for your donation? We are doing a donation for our favor and would love to do something similar to your picture frame.

    Sounds good!  I went to a wedding recently that donated to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and this is what they wrote.....(just incase you wanted to see)

    To Our beloved family and friends,
    We are so touched that you are able to join us today to celebrate as we begin our life together as husband and wife.

    We hope you will be pleased to know that in lieu of favors, we have made a donation in  your honor to____________ in rememberance of our grandparents.

    (They then put their grandparents names which I thought was a nice touch)

    Through this gift we can only begin to honor their memory and loving spirit.  Thank you for being a part of this memorable day and for being a part of our lives.
    All our love,
    names
    (date)

    That sounds beautiful! I am just trying to find a way to kinda include both our relatives we have lost to cancer and our relatives who will be at the wedding who have had cancer and survived- its hard to word it right :/

    I'd like them a lot more without the fake flower -- that I find a bit tacky (or maybe clashy with the bling?).  But I like the blingyness generally.

    I couldn't pinpoint what I didn't like. This is it. I'd like it a lot w/o the fake flower

    Ok thanks- I wasnt sure about that either since Im not a fake flower person. If I changed it to a perserved pink rose or orchid would u like it more or just no flower?

    Ok no problem- just asking in case I stick w/ the flower I will make sure to attach it in a removable way :) They were originally $14 each for the frames, but I got them on clearance for a really good deal, so if you would like them, would you be OK with $3/frame? Im in North Jersey so I can ship them or drop them off after our wedding.

    Did you bling out the frame yourself?

    We're doing a donation gift as well, and I really like the idea of putting the frame on the place card table... instead of at each individual seat. BrideToBe, I like your wording.   We may have to borrow it!

    This.

    Also, I'm not a fan of the wording.  I'm just not a fan of couples saying they're making a donation in honor of their guests.  Unless you're actually making the donation in each individual person's name, I don't think it's appropriate.  I know it's not a big deal to some people, but it strikes a nerve with me for some reason.
