Ways to give back at your wedding
If there is ever a time to give back, it is now; when some parts of the world are still struggling to accept the reality brought about by the global coronavirus pandemic. Like many local and small scale businesses, wedding planners and vendors have suffered from the government-imposed restrictions. The economy itself suffered a great deal.
Weddings are more than just a celebration of love, it could also be an opportunity to help boost local businesses. By having wedding planners plan your wedding, you support at least 5-20 businesses and livelihoods.
It’s a great way of giving back to people! Why cancel when you can have it planned and support local businesses immensely in the same vein? There are countless ways of giving back, but these three ways can help you give back to the community.
● Referrals And Reviews
Whether your wedding has been postponed, in the planning process, or the celebrations are over, taking time to write positive reviews about the vendors that went above and beyond to ensure your big day was a success is an excellent way of helping them out. It doesn’t cost you a dime to that, but It will help support their businesses.
● Donate Leftover Reception Food
Another extremely challenging issue is families sleeping without food owing to the adverse effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Many Americans find it challenging to feed their families.
Therefore, considering you may have heaps and piles of delicious leftover foods, we recommend that you arrange with your catering company or venue to donate the leftover to a local food bank or a homeless shelter.
● Charity Donations Instead Of Wedding Gifts
If you are well to do and don’t particularly need extra funds to fund the wedding, you should consider asking your guests to donate to a COVID-19-related charity of your choice instead of bringing wedding gifts.
Guests will feel more inclined to open their wallets when they see that even amidst the challenges of wedding planning, you are still concerned about the less privileged welfare.
