By inviting Cancer Research UK to join the celebration

Cancer Research UK is offering bride and grooms-to-be a unique way to create maximum impact on their special day by helping to beat cancer.

Couples planning to tie the knot can add an extra special touch to the celebrations by setting up a wedding list with a difference or choosing the charity’s inspirational wedding favours for their big day.

The alternative to a toaster…
At giveincelebration.org couples can create a personalised web page for their wedding through which friends and family can donate to Cancer Research UK. The service can be used in addition to or instead of a more traditional gift list.

Creating a page is quick and simple to do and can be personalised with a selection of images and page colours to fit with the theme of the wedding. The future Mr and Mrs can also upload photos and include a message for guests to see as they click onto the site.

Details are then sent on for guests to donate online, by cheque or over the telephone. For guests who may not be online, the couple can download or order donation slips to put into invitations.

Couples will be sent regular updates on who has donated, and all donors will receive a ‘thank you’ from Cancer Research UK.

Do a favour for charity on your big day… Cancer Research UK wedding favours are a great way to say ‘thank you’ to those who joined in the celebrations. They also provide a personal way for the bride and groom to celebrate surviving cancer or to remember someone close to them, especially if they are not able to be there on the day.

Because the favours are a donation, they can be easily incorporated into any wedding plan and theme, either instead of or alongside more traditional favours. There are no limits to how they can be used, so they can play as small or as large a part of the day as the bride and groom choose. However they are represented, Cancer Research UK wedding favours are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

A simple way to tell guests about the donation in their name could be through the best man’s speech or by including information on the table. Alternatively, couples can request personalised place cards and Cancer Research UK pin badges as a keepsake of their donation. All the charity asks is that you make a minimum donation of £1 per guest.
