Here are 5 great ways to incorporate charity into your big day:

1. Register for donations or charitable gifts

Instead of registering for tangible items, ask guests to donate to a charity of your choice.
Register on The Knot Gifts Back. For each qualified gift purchased off your registry on The Knot, they’ll donate up to 3% to the charity of your choice (at no extra cost to you or your guests).
Create a registry with a charitable company such as The Little Market, which sells handmade, fair trade products created by artisans around the world.
Make an amazon.com registry and ask guests to purchase via AmazonSmile. When you shop on AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice.

2. Give a charitable wedding favor

Instead of spending money on wedding favors for your guests, make a donation on their behalf. Give your guests the gift of a “Something Blue” charity wedding favor card from the non-profit UNICEF. With the purchase of a card, you will provide life-saving and life-changing supplies for children in danger. Go the extra mile and handwrite a personal message to each guest inside. You can also order UNICEF “Regalo Azul” wedding favor cards in Spanish.

3. Donate your flowers

The day after your wedding, re-use your flowers by donating them to a local nursing home or hospital.

4. Host volunteer events before or after your destination wedding

Get your bridal party, family and friends together for a charitable activity near your destination wedding venue.

5. Work with charitable vendors

Look for vendors that give back to their community in the form of donations or volunteer work.
