GlobalGiving.co.uk have a new look on the wedding gift list. For a while large department stores have had on-line wedding list services, but for those couples who are looking do to something different, GlobalGiving.co.uk have a new twist on an old idea, their Wedding Gift Registry allows a couple to celebrate the generosity of their friends and family by selecting a charitable project.
These days the traditional wedding gift seems a little out of kilter for some. Many couples have already set up home and are now looking for alternative ways to channel the generosity of their guests in celebration of their ‘big day’. Giving to charity to help those more in need is fast becoming a favoured wedding gift alternative, and with Global Giving’s on-line Wedding Gift Registry, a couple can choose the charitable projects that mean most to them, asking guests to donate to the cause instead of buying yet another toaster!
It’s quick and easy to create a Wedding Gift Registry page on Global Giving and let guests know how to start giving. Your wedding registry page is easy to personalise and there are over 350 charitable projects to choose from all over the world. Everyone and anyone can choose a cause, give, and see the impact of their donation. It is fast, easy to use and allows someone to make an informed choice when giving to charity
The betrothed can easily sign up for an account with GlobalGiving.co.uk and then create a wedding list. Then pick the projects that they would like their guests to donate towards. You can pick as many projects as you like to put on the list. You can then send the list to your guests directly from the Global Giving website and the guests can then donate to your chosen causes. A running total on the site is kept showing how much has been raised by the guests so that you can thank your guests.
Global Giving can also handle Gift-aid so any donations by guests from people within the UK will be eligible for Gift-aid so the lovely tax-man doesn’t get involved and the whole donation goes to the cause.
