Wedding days are notoriously all about you as a couple! But there are ways to buck the trend and turn the wedding day around and incorporate some thoughtful ideas that will benefit others as well as celebrate your special day. Being Eco friendly, giving donations to charity and helping local food banks are all ways that you can give back during your wedding day. You can use these thoughtful ideas to support special causes throughout your festivities. Guests can give back to the causes you care about the most, which could make your big day even more special for you and your partner.

1. Create a Donation Box
Your guests will have plenty of time to mingle while waiting for your ceremony and reception to begin, so place a donation box where they?ll hang out. A small note could explain where you?ll donate their cash and why the cause matters to you. Your venue coordinator can help you find the best place for this idea and even call attention to it while you?re busy during your wedding day. 2. Donate Leftover Food
Everyone should enjoy their favourite foods during your reception, but there will likely be leftovers. Talk with your caterers about donating extras to organizations that provide meals for those in need. Local non-profits can use your donations to help homeless people, those in low-income households and families who can?t afford groceries.
