Weddings and celebrations

Many couples choose to give guests a small gift or favour to thank them for being part of their day.

Some are now choosing wedding favours that also support a charity. This could be a small item, a token gift, or a simple note to say that a donation has been made instead of traditional favours.

Charity wedding favours are a thoughtful way to share something meaningful with your guests, while helping support people affected by leukaemia.

You may also be thinking about the tradition of wearing or carrying something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

Something blue is often a small detail, but it can also be something with meaning behind it.

Some couples choose a “something blue” that reflects a cause that is important to them. For example, a small blue item from a charity can be a simple way to include that meaning in your day.

At Leukaemia Care, we offer a blue wax melt that can be used as a subtle and personal “something blue”, while also supporting our work.

There are lots of ways to include Leukaemia Care in your wedding, depending on what feels right for you.

You might choose to:

• Ask for donations to Leukaemia Care instead of gifts
• Include information about the charity in your order of service
• Add a small note to your tables or favours explaining your chosen cause
• Fundraise in the lead up to your wedding

There is no set way to do this. Even small actions can make a real difference.

Weddings are made up of small moments and details that come together to create something memorable.

Choosing to include a charity, whether through your wedding favours, your something blue or a simple donation, is a quiet way to share that moment with others.
