Wedding Favours - charity

I know how hard it can be to settle on a wedding favour for your big day!  There are so many products out there to choose from whiskey miniatures to candles...  As well as a huge range of ideas, cost plays a big role!  When looking at your options its important to take into consideration the cost...  £3 each say may not seem a lot but multiplied by the number of guests it can soon mount up!

We decided to give charity wedding favours.  Our chosen charity was The British Heart Foundation.  We designed little cards (you need to ask permission to do this with any logo/branding of the charity) and attached the charity's pin badge.  Everyone loved them, and best of all a charity also benefits!

Many larger charity's already cater for this idea, providing the full wedding favour - but remember you can do this for any charity whether its a pin badge, merchandise for the cause or just a wee card printed to let your guests know.

Makes a lovely wedding favour, and a lovely gesture!

So you are getting married.....

Lets get stuck in!

Right first things first, have you picked your date?? Popular wedding venues get booked up years in advance - so you and your partner need to pick a date, and find the venue.

To apply for your wedding license you need to know the venue, as the registrar in that area needs to issue the license, this not necessarily being your local registrar. For a civil ceremony you need to make a provisional booking the registrar, they require the full names and addresses of the bride and groom, contact telephone number/email address, venue of wedding, time of the ceremony and which room/area the ceremony would be held.

If you decide on a church wedding and not a civil ceremony then you needs to speak to the Minister/Priest at your choosen church.  Check availability etc - but you still need to contact Registrar for license...  Check out the General Register office for Scotland for more information.
