Wedding bells are ringing - hooray! There's so much to look forward to and I guess the last thing you want to think about is MONEY!
However, an unfortunate fact of life is that if you want to host a wedding, you're going to need to pay for it. Although it's not all spend, spend, spend. Those that are financially-savvy (soon to be you!) have been doing away with unnecessary wedding gifts and getting wedding donations instead!
It's a smart move - get your guests to give you what you really need, that's money to cover the wedding and maybe you'll even have enough left over to cover the honeymoon too (or is that wishful thinking!?).
Here we go:
1. Start a fundraiser on an easy to use site. As mentioned on the donation website page, Go Get Funding is the market leader.
2. Include a great fundraising pitch and even consider including a video which is proven to get your fundraiser more attention.
3. Add thoughtful rewards to your page. For example, you can give people that pledge $50 or more a shout out during the speeches.
4. Promote it to everyone you know. Don't just update your social networks, also email people about it and do some offline fundraising too.
5. Update people on how you're getting on and tell them just what a difference their donations are making / will make. That will help make people sitting on the sidelines donate too.
Some people are put off by the thought of asking people for money. However, wedding fundraising is one of the best situations to be asking for money in.
People don't want to waste their money buying pots and pans you don't need. Most (sane) people will want their money to go far and be appreciated - telling them exactly what you need is the best way to do that.
So what are you waiting for? Start your wedding donation site now!
