Breast Cancer Campaign is calling on all brides to give guests a pink ribbon pin as a wedding favour. Not only are the pins a unique wedding gift, you will also be helping the charity continue funding vital breast cancer research. There is a wide range of pins to choose from to suit every bride and wedding! Choose from a Breast Cancer Campaign pink ribbon pin or jigsaw pin (£1), a pink ribbon pin designed by fashion designer Jasper Conran (£1) or, for people looking for an extra touch of glamour, there is a diamante pink ribbon pin (£5). When you purchase the pins, Breast Cancer Campaign can also provide small place cards to let you guests know about the charitable donation. Pink ribbon badges are not the only way you can raise money for charity on your big day; asking for donations in lieu of gifts is a simple and easy way to help in the fight against breast cancer. Campaign has a simple donation form which you can send to guests with your invitations to make it as easy as possible to arrange. If you want to continue the pink theme throughout your wedding, Campaign can also provide balloons, banners, invitation cards and any other materials you may need to add the finishes touches to your big day!
