"Reader LilLis2010 submitted a three-part question in the comments section of this post. Today, we&amp;#39;ll tackle part one: the dreaded favor debate.\nPinterestFacebookWhat&amp;#39;s a bride to do?\nLilLis2010 writes: &amp;quot;We made a donation to a charity and in return got bracelets (like the Livestrong ones). We were going to put a note on each that reads, In lieu of a favor, a donation to the National Marfan Foundation has been made in your name.&amp;#39; Is this a bad idea?&amp;quot;\nHere are my thoughts: A bad idea? No way! Your donation could change people&amp;#39;s lives. (And don&amp;#39;t forget it&amp;#39;s likely a tax deduction!) I checked the NMF site, and it looks like the bracelets are bright red. If that works with your color palette, why not incorporate them into your tables? You could ask your caterer to wrap them around napkin-and-silverware bundles, or slide one over each wine glass if your tables will be pre-set. (Click here for a visual.) If you&amp;#39;d rather not have the bracelets be a focal point&amp;#8212;or you&amp;#39;re just not loving the bright red&amp;#8212;I&amp;#39;d put them all into a cylinder vase (like this $5 one) and set that out, along with a single printout of your note, on your seating card table.\nReaders, let&amp;#39;s hear it: Are you also psyched when a couple donates to charity? Or would you rather get a fancy favor? Have you ever seen a memorable &amp;quot;we donated to charity&amp;quot; display? Does anyone have any cheap favor ideas for other brides?\nTune in later this week for answers to parts two and three of LilLis2010&amp;#39;s question.\nAnd if you have any of you have any pressing wedding-related questions of your own to submit, click here!\nMore Reader&amp;#39;s Dilemmas, Solved!\n\n&amp;quot;My Boyfriend Has Bad Breath!&amp;quot;\n\n\n&amp;quot;My Boyfriend Is Crazy Jealous of My Exes&amp;quot;\n\n\n&amp;quot;My Boyfriend Wants to Get a Weird Tattoo&amp;quot;\n\nMore Ways to Get Glamour\nYou could win $50,000 just for registering or logging in to Glamour.com!\nSign up for Glamour.com&amp;#39;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters!\nAdd Glamour to your iGoogle homepage.\nFollow Glamour on Twitter.\nPhoto: Jupiter Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
