Getting engaged is so exciting! And then comes planning for your big day... 

How about doing something special for your wedding by setting up a gift list with World Vision? It could be your full list or work equally well alongside a more traditional list, giving your friends even more choice. Either way, you can be sure that your new beginning as a couple will give new hope to children living in poverty. 

Let World Vision take care of your wedding gifts, with an easy to manage wedding list online or set it up by phone. Your friends can order 24/7, online or by calling 0845 600 6449. 

The Alternative Wedding Gift service offers you a tailored wedding list with specific gifts you choose. We can send you a link to forward to your friends, or even email all your friends directly. They can then design a unique card for you online, so you have these to treasure after the big day. 

Great wedding gifts include a Cheese Making Kit (£17) to provide a family in Sudan with a new source of income, and Reunite a Child with their Family (£46) to reunite street children in Cambodia with their family. For a groom who is crazy about sport, get him a Bike (£54) to get health educators out to villages. Or for a gardening bride, give a Sri Lankan family a healthy start with Seeds, Tools and Training to Set up a Garden (£21). 

All gifts have been specifically requested by communities with whom World Vision is working long-term. Not only will your wedding be your happiest day, it will make a huge difference to children and their communities from developing countries in their journey out of poverty.

Customer Quote 

Margaret and Edward Young were old school friends, who reconnected many years later and fell in love. As they came from two households, they already had everything for their new home. 

Margaret said, “Our friends wanted to give gifts and World Vision offered an opportunity to donate gifts which had value and meaning for both giver and receiver stretching beyond the joy of our Wedding Day.” 

She was delighted with each gift as they had particular significance for each giver. Margaret was particularly moved by school-related gifts having just retired from teaching. They both loved the mix of creative thinking and practicality in the gifts e.g. Buy a bog! 

Margaret and Edward received a wide variety of the free greetings cards provided with each gift. They said, “Our friends and family wrote lovely personal messages both on the front and inside of each card. Receiving gifts from the World Vision site has been very special and long after our Wedding Day, we will still be able to ponder the significance of our "shared" gifts.”
