Raising Money for Your Wedding

and other useful ideas


 Fundraising Ideas

Host a party. Charge a cover and give away a raffle ticket to each guest. You can sell extra tickets before the party as well as at the door. You can either purchase an item to raffle off, or get something donated by a parent or someone who loves you very much.

To keep expenses down, ask guests to each bring a potluck dish and drinks.

 Selling Ethical Products

 If you and your friends and family are interested in socially responsible consumerism, you might consider fundraising by selling things that end up helping others as well.

For instance, slave-free chocolate is a good choice.

Since almost all the cocoa on the market is tainted by slavery, including all chocolate sold by Nestle, Hershey's, and M&M Mars, offering your friends an alternative that does not harm children in Africa is a good choice.

Newman's Own offers programs for fundraisers - you can sell ethical chocolate to your friends, and keep about half the money.

With a little research, you can raise money for your wedding AND help the rest of the world!
