You’re engaged – congratulations! Finding the love of your life brings so much happiness, and planning a day filled with love, family and friends to celebrate is the cherry on top. But – what if your wedding can do even more than that? VOW for Girls, the charity of choice for the wedding industry, does exactly that. By saying yes to your partner, you can help girls around the world choose love on their own terms.

The VOW for Girls Charitable Guide to Giving gives you everything you need to find the best ways to give back with your wedding and walks you through everything from FAQs about charitable weddings, do’s and don’ts when it comes to giving back and so much more.

More and more engaged couples are finding that their weddings can serve not only as a celebration of love and the next chapter in life with your partner, but also as a way to give back to causes that align with their values. VOW for Girls is uniquely tied to the wedding industry through its work with couples, wedding-aligned businesses and brands to work towards VOW’s vision – a world where no child is ever a bride.

Since giving is not one-size-fits-all, VOW offers different ways to give back with your wedding, so that you can find the way that feels best for you and your partner no matter the size of your celebration or budget. We know how stressful wedding planning can be, so VOW aims to help you check items off of your to-do list, and give back while doing so – win win!
