Readers' poll |

What we've learnt from the latest reader poll at www.yourberksbucksoxonwedding.com
Charity favours are a fab way to show your support to a cause on your special day – would you opt for these on your big day?
Absolutely – we love the idea of donating money to charity and telling our loved ones what we've done to spread awareness about the work they do.: 43% Yes – but we're going to opt for a charity that gives pin badges or a pretty product in exchange for our generous donation so that our guests still have something to take home from our nuptials.: 14% We're opting for different favours but will be donating lots of our wedding items – my dress included – to charity after our big day.: 0% Not on our big day but we do support charities in other ways throughout the year.: 43% | |
