Daughters Cambodia in Phnom Penh

August 1st, 2007 @ 2:48 pm by Mrs. Bee

Rebecca recently contacted me because she wanted to bounce some ideas off our readers for a really great cause.  She’s travelling to Cambodia for a month this fall and is trying to help a local organization called Daughters Cambodia in Phnom Penh, a day center for girls working in brothels, that provides access to showers, basic hygiene, and some form of vocational training.  So she’s been trying to think of something to teach the girls which…

I Propose Some Toast

May 29th, 2007 @ 3:53 pm by Mrs. Lovebug

Non-profit, charity-driven websites rock. Especially when they feature toast. Lots and lots of toast.

Your Name On Toast is this really cool site where you can “buy” an actual piece of toast on which the publishers will then write/draw on with a Sharpie anything you like. They’ll put your name, the name of your company, a stick figure–whatever you want–and the toast will act as a…

Chimp Haven

March 14th, 2007 @ 1:39 pm by Mrs. Kiwi

Ever since I was little, I’ve had a love of primates. Chimps, apes, gorillas, monkeys, orangutans, you name it. This love has led me to a possible favor donation idea.

Chimp Haven is an organization located in Keithsville, Louisiana, whose mission is to provide lifetime care for chimpanzees who are no longer of use as entertainers, research or pets. These animals break my heart, and knowing…

For A Good Cause

February 14th, 2007 @ 2:19 pm by Mrs. Butterfly

On Sunday, February 11, 2007, I said goodbye to my wedding dress. Part of me is actually very sad. I loved that dress. I loved the way I felt in it. But my practical part won the battle in the end for these reasons:

  • I know that my wedding dress will never be worn again. Well, the chances are it won’t be worn again, and it…

Charity Begins @ Home

December 1st, 2006 @ 11:32 am by Mrs. Orange

A friend of Mr. Orange recently gave us a gift with a card — a UNICEF card! UNICEF’s online shop has a wide variety of holiday cards, but they also carry a very nice selection of blank cards that can be used in your everyday greetings (like wedding thank you cards!). I was really touched to know that this couple supported such a good cause.

Shop for a Cause - Partners Card

The Partners Card formula is simple!

Here’s how it works:

I know this has made the rounds on weddingbee before, but if you visit The Breast Cancer Site and click on the pink box in the middle of your page, the site’s corporate sponsors will donate money toward a mammogram. You can click once a day; I’m setting the site as one of my Firefox home pages and encourage everyone else to do so, too.

Open Question: Charity Favors

September 13th, 2006 @ 11:30 am by Open Question

I have been having a really tough time coming up with an idea for favors for my October reception. Personally, I don’t “get” the whole favor idea. This isn’t something that was a big deal where I grew up. I always figured that feeding my guests a nice meal and throwing a big party showed my appreciation for their involvement in my happy day -…

I’m going to wait to write my full recap of the Brides Against Breast Cancer event until I get pictures from the official photographer. There were many great moments when brides found dresses that were absolutely “the one,” and Miss Ant and I were so happy to be a part of this wonderful experience.

The event featured a great selection of gowns from Amsale, Vera…
