When making a donation to such charities in lieu of favors, some will provide you with cards or bookmarks that you can provide your guests to inform them that a donation has been made on their behalf. If one is not provided, then simply create one on your own or purchase the charity bracelets. Your guests will truly be touched by the gesture.

Here are some of my favorite charities that I personally donate to and would hope that you would consider them worthy of a donation in lieu of favors:

• Wish Upon a Wedding (www.wishuponawedding.org): Wish Upon a Wedding is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization that provides weddings and vow renewals to couples facing terminal illness or other serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation. Often, couples facing such situations do not have the energy, time, money, or resources needed to plan their wedding. Our organization takes care of all the details, offering couples a chance to relax and enjoy a very special day while surrounded by the love of their closest family and friends.
• American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org): As a leader in cancer control since 1913, the American Cancer Society is committed to saving lives from cancer and reducing the global threat of the disease. We combine our relentless passion with the wisdom of experience to make this vision a reality by focusing on countries with the most need and where measurable results can be achieved.
• Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation (www.mcsf.org): Since 1775, Marines have selflessly served America, and for nearly 50 years the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation has honored this service by educating their children. The privately-funded, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization provides scholarships for post-high school education to deserving sons and daughters of Marines with particular attention given to children whose parent has been killed or wounded in action.
• American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org): The American Diabetes Association’s mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. They lead the fight against the deadly consequences of diabetes and fight for those affected—by diabetes.

The Jubilance of Giving Back.

There is no greater joy than to give back to your community or to an organization in need. From something as simple as purchasing a box of cookies to making a monetary donation in lieu of gifts can make a profound impact on someone’s life.

Think about it? The smallest gesture to help someone in need could also benefit your heart, your soul and your pocketbook.

Why should you donate, you ask? Here are just the top five reasons you should consider donating  before, during and after your wedding:

1. Charitable donations are tax-deductible. According to Uncle Sam, charitable contributions of money or property made to qualified organizations can reduce your taxable income and lower your tax bill.
2. Meet interesting people and experience new things. Charities usually secure great talent, draw local celebrities and auction really extravagant items/experiences. Even those with modest budgets can get in on the action and this is a great way to meet new, interesting  people.
3. Helping others gives you a sense of pride. Giving back can lift your self-confidence, self-esteem and life satisfaction. When doing something  good for others and the community, it can provide a natural sense of accomplishment.
4. Set a good example. By donating to charities, you will inspire those that look up to you to open up to the concept of giving.
5. You really CAN make a difference. Contributions, whether monetary or time, can make a difference in the lives of those in need when spent wisely. Making a difference is not about being a super hero, it’s simply making the effort to pay it forward.

During the month of June we are going to provide you with nifty ideas on how you can give back to your community during and after your Simply FAB wedding. Stay tuned!
