Donations Instead Of Wedding Favors
My daughter loves this idea but is having trouble with the wording. Her Grandmother passed away three months before her wedding and she would like to remember her at the reception. If anyone has done this at their reception, can you give us some help. Thanks

I know a lot of people sometimes light a candle in honor of the dearly departed...maybe even have a chair set aside for her grandmother at the reception, with a white rose and a picture of her on it in memory...i hope this helps... I`m sorry for the loss. -------`---,--{@

I have been to a wedding where they had a floral arrangment near the greeting table that was in memory of family members who had passed. I though it was so wonderful and I am concidering it as well.

Hope it is not too late...but had another idea. I recently attended a wedding in which the bride & groom donated money to the Cancer Society in memory of their grandparents. A card on each table said that in leu of favors, this donation was made. Thought it was a great idea & a meaningful way to spend money!

Thanks for all the ideas, the wedding was May 11, 2002 and I made a beautiful card with a pink rose with a loving message and made a donation in her name to her Church. We also had a vase with 4 white roses, one in memory for each grandparent no longer with us.

My sisters husbands father has passed away so at their wedding they where seated infront of a stage and had a candle burning with a photo of his dad next to it placed on the staged behind them. They also had this set up at the church.
