Binita and Dev's Wedding

"Having been one of those guests that forgets to take their wedding favour home we didn't want to throw money down the drain when it could be put to better use.  We'd heard of charity gift lists (where your guests can make donations in lieu of gifts) but didn't know much about wedding favours, until we saw an advert about the NSPCC's ones.

The team were very helpful and the favours were easy to order and arrived very quickly (as we'd left it until the last minute!). The favours themselves were perfect as we were able to choose which design would suit our theme the best. They were also surprisingly uplifting which made them appropriate for the occasion and personalised with our names and date so they still had that personal touch that favours do." - Binita and Dev

Rachael and Tim's Wedding

"Rachael's Dad has been involved with the NSPCC for a number of years so we really wanted to include the charity in our wedding.  The fact that we would be able to give a personal gift to our guests, as well as supporting such a worthwhile cause was wonderful.  It's also lovely to think that friends and family are walking around with our gift while promoting the NSPCC's work at the same time."  - Rachael and Tim

Sarah and James' Wedding

"We wanted to give the money to charity rather than wasting it on favours. The guests loved the idea and commented on the cards that were on every table. We also had a sweep stake to guess how long the best man's speech would be and everyone gave £1. We then donated the money to the NSPCC - a good way to raise some extra money." - Sarah and James
