HOO On Gifts
From shower gifts to wedding favors, here’s wise HOO on the art of giving.
Forgo 15 toasters and pink satin sheets. A growing trend is for couples to encourage charitable donations in lieu of traditional wedding gifts. With more people getting married later in life, soon-to-be-married couples already have too much stuff. Couples say they want to balance the often extravagant nature of their wedding. The good feeling of giving back seems like the right thing to do.
“A charitable gift in a couple’s name makes a wonderful and truly meaningful wedding gift,” says Kendall Webb, founder and Executive Director of JustGive, a nonprofit organization offering a unique online Charity Wedding Registry. The group is dedicated to increasing overall charitable giving by making it part of our everyday lives.
JustGive’s Charity Wedding Registry allows couples to choose from any of the 850,000 charities in the U.S., add personal information about themselves and their wedding, send email to friends and family notifying them of their registry. Couples can access password-protected reports detailing who has donated to what charity on their registry so they can send out timely “Thank You” cards. The couple is also notified by email when a donation is made in their name.
Webb says they hear from couples every day who are thrilled to find a wedding registry that reflects their values. “One of the things couples like most about the registry is that it allows them to choose local charities that are in their community and touch their lives directly.”
