2. Maybe you’re a couple who already has everything you need and want. Or maybe you just prefer not to accept gifts and for people to just come and have fun with you on your special day. Either way, many people enjoy giving a gift. So, why not allow them to give to a breast cancer foundation or sponsor a race of our choice? That way you don’t have to accept a gift, the guests are still able to “give” a gift and a woman, somewhere out there can benefit from your wedding.
