Charity wedding lists are clearly the most eco-friendly gift lists around - there's simply no wastage involved in replacing household goods (no matter how eco-friendly they're made). But now you can also have a charity wedding list that's even greener - The Green Gift List where, instead of toasters and kettles, couples can sign-up to a list that contains gifts of donations to various environmental and conservation charities.
 The Green Gift List,
www.thegreengiftlist.co.uk
, offer a service that mirrors a traditional wedding list - donations are wrapped up like gifts so you and your guests can see what a particular donation could fund for each charity and a gift list is made up of donations to a variety of charities. Charities on the service include Borneo Orangutan Survival, Buglife, Garden Organic, the Marine Conservation Society, Save the Rhino and the World Land Trust.
 The variety of great charities on the service provides plenty of options for couples and guests; couples select a group of charities, guests logon to the couples list and select a donation to the charity of their choice from that list, meaning guests have a choice of charities to donate to rather than just one.
 Everything's been kept simple and online - couples can logon to their list to view donations and messages from guests and can download details onto a PDF at any time. Couples then receive a final certificate confirming total donations to each charity. There are no charges for couples, no minimum total expected and no hidden costs for guests - every penny they spend goes to the charities and all the costs of the service are covered by the Gift Aid reclaimed on donations made.
 Couples can use it as their only wedding list or, as many couples now have two or more gift lists, use it alongside a traditional list and send the details to as few, or as many, of your guests as you feel appropriate - it's your day so do it your way.
