Weddings

Want to plan a beautiful wedding that also gives back?

Cutlery and crockery are great, but if you feel like you already have everything you need, helping sick kids is an inspirational alternative.

Here's how to make an unforgettable wedding wish:

  • Create an online celebration page- it's a thoughtful alternative to a gift registry. It only takes a few minutes to create, personalise and share with guests. See our FAQs below for some quick tips on getting started.

  • For a more traditional alternative, you can also use a wishing well to collect cash donations on the day - you can deposit the total donation as a single sum.
