If you have been to any weddings recently, you know that folks have a "few", kick back, do the funky chicken and get dangerously close to becoming "Lampshade Larry" on the bar...
So its fair to say that wedding favors, although wonderful mementos and keepsakes embossed with your and your beloved's name and wedding date, often gets left on each table by those that have imbibed a bit. Wasting your $5+/- per person.
Consider the option of charity favors by donating in your guest's name or in their honor to a nationally recognized charity. Not doing it for you? You still crave the pink and the frilly???
...how about we up the anti a bit...
If you purchase our wedding flower services, we pledge to put a gerber daisy , in a coordinating theme color of your wedding, on each charity favor you have at each place setting; making your favors count AND beautiful! And who leaves flowers on the table???
In some weddings in our families, we've all seen Aunt Matilda and Auntie Gertrude will bicker over who gets the flowers at each table!
Now you're thinking....Free Flowers? Really?
Free flowers, Absolutely!...read on below!
We are offering all of our 2008 and 2009 brides the ability to get more flowers FOR FREE!

Now for the charity "definition":
The charity must be a charity we have heard of... meaning, something that has a real non-profit tax status as a charity. We are not affiliated with any charity in particular, so if you want to purchase charity favors for (fill in the blank foundation) thats just fine with us. You must donate at least $3 per guest at your wedding reception, for the charity donation to count for this offer... We reserve the right to decline this offer if it seems like a fake charity. The charity you donate to has no affiliation with us. This is just something extra we are doing to encourage folks to make favors be a favor for the greater good, rather than the pink frilly thing that Uncle Bob wouldn't dare take home let alone be seen with...
*This offer does have the following terms and conditions:

-We must see proof of purchase no later than 1 month before your wedding. That proof must be the favors themselves, the invoice, and the shipping box they came in.
-You must have spent at least $3 per guest at your reception for your charity favors. More of a donation does not mean that you will get more flowers.... donate as much as you would like, you will still get just one gerber per guest.
-This special must be mentioned at the time of the initial floral consult, with a verbal notification to us of the charity that you will be purchasing the favors from. We reserve the right to rescind our offer at that time if it is not a charity we have heard of.
