Donations to VOW In The Names of Your Guests

There’s nothing like a charitable donation in honor of your guests to make your entire party feel the love. Printed cards at each place setting which display the personalized donations will charm your loved ones while supporting our world’s girls. What’s better than that? And no plastic knick knacks end up in the trash!

VOW Tip: Suggested Donations

Not sure what an appropriate donation amount is if you opt for donations in lieu of favors? We suggest using your guest count as a reference, and multiplying that by whatever you would have spent on physical favors.

VOW couple Helena & Ignacio opted for donations in lieu of favors and 100% of their donations went directly to underfunded grassroots efforts to help girls around the world. Every dollar counts, as just $350 can provide transportation for a group of 25 young women to attend job training classes for 3 months and $181 can cover all of one girl’s costs to attend school for a year – from school fees to supplies and transportation.
