Alternative Wedding Gifts
This article from The Herald in the U.K. is about the growing trend of couples who are asking for alternative gifts (like environmentally friendly products) or asking for guests to donate to charity instead of traditional gifts. An excerpt:
"Alternative wedding-gift lists are the latest must-do for 21st-century couples with an ethical, social or environmental conscience. 'I guess with the huge cost of weddings and all the excesses involved, an alternative gift list is a way for couples to give something back,' says Andy Hickey, founder of the website www.alternativeweddinglist.co.uk."
