Why Should We Support a Charity with Our Wedding?
June 7, 2022
When it comes to choosing a charity, nonprofit, or cause to support with your wedding, it can be tough to know where to start. Everything from opting for charitable donations in lieu of wedding gifts or favors to hiring wedding vendors are opportunities to support a charity with your wedding. However, in getting started, there are so many things to consider and different ways to do it that can feel a little overwhelming.

“Ryan and I felt strongly from the beginning that in lieu of gifts we wanted our wedding guests to put their money somewhere it would truly make a difference. When we came across VOW for Girls and the incredible work the organization does, it felt like the perfect cause for us to support.”
– Elsa & Ryan, VOW Couple | $2550 raised in lieu of gifts

Why VOW?

VOW for Girls is uniquely tied to the wedding industry through the way we partner with couples and wedding professionals to raise awareness and funds to end the international child marriage crisis. So as you celebrate choosing each other you can help millions of girls choose love on their own terms.
VOW for Girls is also unique in the fact that there are multiple ways to “VOW” your wedding, and we are always open to creative new ideas to give back! Some of our most popular ways to give back with your wedding are:
Create a Charitable Wedding Registry
Don’t need or want any gifts? Instead of a traditional gift registry, create a personalized registry in 3 easy steps and ask your guests for donations in lieu of or in addition to wedding gifts. Link to your wedding website to make it easy for your guests to find.

Replace Favors With Donations

Wedding favors that your guests won’t leave behind! Add more meaning to your wedding by replacing favors with donations in honor of each guest. Did you know just $181 can cover school fees for a girl for a year?
