What do you ladies think? (Sticky Thread Related)
in Favors
Do you think that a donations sticky is warranted? It seems to be one of the most oft-discussed topics here, so I was considering writing one up over the weekend.
Leave me your opinions (and any specifics you think it should contain) below!

Maybe just C&P trix's usual C&P.
Edit: And/or also put in StageManager's advice (see in Human Society Donation thread) for balance.
So I'll have my C&P, and stage can have hers for the alternative POV
And congratus on being the mod, twilight!
[QUOTE]I don't think people really read the stickies. I wish they did. But it's clear from the number of times the question is asked that they don't. So I'll have my C&P, and stage can have hers for the alternative POV =). And congratus on being the mod, twilight!

Very good point, trix.
And thank you! :)
The major gripe with the past-mod's sticky note was that it was (IMHO) one sided. Sure, she included post from other people, but she only included post that agreed with her position.
I think Stage gave a great "how to" on doing donations at a wedding, and I agree with the PP that should be included.
And lastly, congratulations on being the new favor mod! Notice how well we're all behaving?
So, I'm thinking that what I'll do is take trix's advice and Stage's advice, put them both in a sticky, and then if people want to take advantage of it, they can. If not, business can continue as usual, and responses can just be posted in the individual threads.
[QUOTE]Does that mean I won't need my C&P anymore? =)

I wish that people would actually read the sticky, but I think you're right that the majority will disregard it, so I'd hang onto your C&P, because it is great advice for when it comes up. :)

Just C&P it from the sticky if it comes up again.
And I like your sticky, twilight. It comes across as very fair to me. Great and well-articulated opinions from both sides.

Thank you. :)
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: What do you ladies think? (Sticky Thread Related) : Sadly, Trix, probably so. I agree that most people don't read the stickies. BTW, thanks for including my POV. twi!

Yw! I think it's great advice for anyone who decides to go with a donation. :)
But in the same sense, if a person gave out candy....9 times out 10 you might have a diabetic at your wedding or someone that won't eat candy. Any favor can fit into that category. I like what both Trix and Stage said as well, they covered both areas and both sides of the fence.
I want to add that favors have always been an "up in the air" thing for me...I would rather put that money towards a nicer spread of food or more liquor...or even a charity because they seem like a waste to me. They seem to get overlooked or thrown away or not appreciated as much as brides hope they will be. Don't get me wrong, the intentions of them are a nice gesture but not necessary IMHO.
Just my 2 cents!
