That's right, you heard it from me..we are not giving out wedding favors! No cookies, mints, M&Ms, Almonds, Koozies or Hershey kisses... Instead Bo and I are going to donate to two organizations that are near and dear to our hearts in honor of all our guests.
What two organizations you ask...?
Well the first should be obvious... the North Carolina Lung Cancer Partnership. Although I work for this organization it is very personal and something I am passionate about. And just know 84 cents per dollar goes to research, awareness and education programs so I wont be funding my own salary, I promise! The Mission of this organization is to decrease deaths due to lung cancer and help patients live longer and better through research, awareness and advocacy.
The second organization we are donating to is the National MS Society - most likely the Eastern NC chapter. Bo's grandmother has MS and I have a family member and friend with it as well. The Society's mission is to mobilize people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS.
I would encourage anyone who wants to also donate in honor of our wedding to do so at the links above! They are both great organizations that do a lot of good!
So although you aren't receiving a real favor I am really excited about how we are going to display this! I ordered 'mini' cards with our engagement photos on one side and a little explanation on the other! I plan to make them like little bookmarks.. so you wont walk away empty handed. Check out Moo.com for an example of these mini cards.. they are great for photographers. I'm really excited for them to come in! And they were VERY affordable! http://us.moo.com/
