Wedding Gifts and Favours

Unique Wedding gifts
Having lived together for some time, many couples feel that they already have everything they need for married life. By the time that they get married, many people have already have dinner sets and toasters...

Instead of struggling to find gifts for your guests to give on your big day, why not ask your family and friends to support our work instead? It's the perfect way to celebrate your special day in a unique and positive way. What's more, you won't receive any unwanted gifts either!

All you need to do is simply set up your own personalised wedding fundraising page and direct your loved ones to it when sending out your wedding invitations. JustGiving deal with all of the admin, including collecting Gift Aid, keeping you up to date all the donations we receive and personal messages you get from your friends and family with no extra hassle for you. You can even set up a thank you letter to go straight to the giver. If you’d like some pictures or more information from us to include on your page, just get in touch via the details below.

Inspiring Wedding Favours
Had enough of sugared almonds? Looking for unique and inspiring wedding favours?

Instead of buying favours that may be just get thrown away, why not make a donation in your guests’ names? Your donation will not only be inspirational to your guests but make a real difference to real lives in rural India.

We can provide you with personalised cards with a message from the both of you to place on tables and around your reception venue. Alternatively you can design your own and we can provide you with images.

Making a difference on your big day
Your support can make a real difference to the lives of the women, their families and communities that we support across rural India. Here are some examples of how your support can help:

£5 could... buy a fruit tree which will be given to a village school for pupils to look after and share its fruit.

£15 could... provide a woman and her family with a wooden beehive frame plus one sheet of wax to help bees ‘make honey’ providing nutrition and an extra income.

£30 could... buy a sewing machine for one woman so that she can provide clothing for her growing children and other members of her family. Once her own family needs are met she can make and sell clothing within her village. £300 will enable 10 women to have sewing machines and form a Self-Help Group (SHG) with the opportunity to benefit from microcredit savings and loans to expand their activities.

£50 could... cover the cost of training, equipment and seeds for one woman to establish a kitchen garden to grow vegetables to boost household consumption with the support of a vermicompost pit using worms and organic waste. This activity boosts the nutritional health of her family and allows her to contribute to household income from sales of any surplus vegetables.
