Last but not least, let's talk about Giving Tuesday and your wedding. There are a bunch of different ways to support a charity, nonprofit or cause that is near and dear to your heart with your wedding.
You and your partner can donate to a cause that is important to you on Giving Tuesday, many larger groups and employers will match donations made on Giving Tuesday, so it's a great day to donate.
You can also use your wedding to support the causes that you care about whether that's setting up a charitable wedding gift registry where your wedding guests can make a donation right from your gift registry page. You can also choose to donate to a worthy cause in lieu of wedding favors. If you already have everything you need, you can ask your wedding guests to donate to a charity or nonprofit instead of purchasing you wedding gifts.
Here at The Garter Girl, we love VOW For Girls which is a charity dedicated to helping women and girls choose marriage on their own terms.
