Celebrate Your Wedding with Concern
Your wedding is a day of love and unity — why not make it even more meaningful by turning it into an opportunity to create lasting change?
Instead of receiving traditional gifts, invite your friends, family, and loved ones to donate to Concern Worldwide. By celebrating your wedding in this special way, you can help provide vital support—such as food, clean water, healthcare, and education—to communities living in extreme poverty. Let your love story bring hope and brighter futures to those who need it most.
Wedding Fundraising Ideas
Here are some meaningful ways to make your special day unforgettable while supporting Concern’s mission:
Donation Instead of Gifts: Instead of a traditional wedding gift registry, ask your guests to make a donation to Concern. Their generosity will help provide life-saving support like food, clean water, and education to communities in need—a meaningful way to celebrate your union.
Charity Favours: Replace traditional wedding favours with a donation to Concern on behalf of your guests. Share cards or notes at the tables letting them know how their presence at your wedding is also making an impact on vulnerable communities.
Wedding Fundraiser Event: Organise a pre-wedding or post-wedding event, such as a casual brunch, party, or charity auction, and use it as an opportunity to raise funds for Concern. Your wedding festivities will leave a legacy of love and kindness.
Personalised Donation Page: Create a custom donation page in honour of your wedding. Share the link with your guests in your invitations or on your wedding website, inviting them to contribute to a cause that’s close to your hearts.
