Teddy bears - Of course not for themselves, but for children from an orphanage. This is a great gesture, which brings a lot of happiness for the kids. Instead of bears, it may be other toys or school equipment.
Scratch cards or lotto coupons
This is my favorite flower-alternative idea, which I plan to use at my own wedding. Guests tend to give them to bride and groom in envelopes, but recently I made up some interesting idea how to do this in an unusual way.
"Scratch flowers" - I made them for my grandparents' wedding anniversary. Sorry for this poor photo quality, but when I took this, I haven't intended to post it at my blog.
Other interesting ideas are books (for bookworms), vine or other alcohol.
Have you any other ideas? Or maybe you think that giving flowers don't need to be replaced?
Great flower:) I think those are great ideas because it’s better to spend money on something useful.
OdpowiedzUsuńThis summer my work college was getting married and they decided to ask all invited guests not to buy flowers. The idea was simple just bring over school back with necessary school equipment. All guests got an idea and thanks to that kids from our local orphanage were ready
for school.
My husband and I asked for books or wine instead of flowers . All turned out to be good;)
