We've seen the Candy Buffet, the Seafood Buffet, the Chocolate Buffet, now make room for the Charity Buffet!
I got this idea from one of my brides, Angela Gil (now Pereira). In lieu of favours or the traditional Donation to a Charity, she created these Charity cards, each worth a $2 donation, which I placed at each of her wedding guest's placesetting.
During the course of the evening, guests were encouraged to go to the Charity Buffet and choose which Charity they would like a donation to be made on their behalf by placing the card in the corresponding vase.
"Donations to Charity in lieu of a Favour" is extremely popular, but countless times I have heard guests grumble, "What if I don't support that charity? Why is a donation being made in my honour to something I don't wish to support?" With the Charity Buffet, guests get to decide where the money goes.
Love it! Thanks, Angela (& Dan)!
