mywedding.com And The I Do Foundation Get Hitched

Seattle, WA -- Oct. 2, 2007

mywedding.com and the I Do Foundation have partnered to give mywedding.com users a chance to take part in the growing trend of “charity registries.” Engaged couples can access the following I Do Foundation charity options through the mywedding.com site:

  • Gift Registries that Give Back: Couples can create gift registries with major retail partners and up to 8% of all pending gifts will be donated to a charity of the couples choice.
  • Donation Registry: Couples can have guests make charitable donations in lieu of gifts all together.
  • Wedding Favors for Charity: In place of traditional wedding favors, couples can make charitable donations to honor their guests.

QUOTES

"Many couples are marrying at an older age today and often times are living together before they tie the knot. The trend toward creating a charity registry, I think, was born out of this reality. Couples already have their dishes and linens and often feel they'd like to 'pay it forward' by donating to their favorite charity in the name of their wedding" said Nicole Kraft, Editorial Director at mywedding.com
