Your wedding is a time to celebrate as a couple and look towards your future together as Mr and Mrs. With St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, you can also help the futures of countless children while you celebrate your day by saying “I do” to fighting childhood cancer. The St. Jude mission is to find a cure and save children who are suffering from cancer, and they have an absolutely wonderful way of honoring your guests and your new life together. By making a donation in your guests’ names to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, you will be giving a gift that not only expresses your gratitude, but will be remembered well after the dancing is over.

St Jude

St Jude Children's Research Hospital is one of the world’s premier pediatric cancer research centers and we love how they’ve made it so easy for you and your guests to donate. And they’ve made some pretty darn cute personalized wedding favors so your guests know that a donation has been made in their name! You can use the personalized scrolls or bookmarks to decorate your place setting, buffet or even around the reception site. Couples can also set up a wedding page or display envelopes on the gift table asking that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in lieu of gifts. Don’t you think this is just the best way to start your life together?
