A wedding is a beautiful time of celebration and joy, but adding a wishing well to the festivities gives everyone one more sentimental touchpoint. Wishing wells have been used at weddings for centuries, and not surprisingly, their purpose has changed over time. Today, this beloved tradition continues to add a unique touch to any wedding and can also provide an opportunity for charitable giving.
The original purpose of a wedding wishing well was for guests to make small monetary donations to the new couple in honor of their union. This was intended to support them as they began their new lives together and often went toward paying for the wedding or establishing a home. This "monetary gift" tradition remains today, however with many couples choosing to contribute toward their own going-away expenses or honeymoon, guests' donations are often sent directly and are no longer poured into the well.
Another new function for the modern day wishing well is simply as decoration. An exquisitely decorated wishing well adds to the beautiful aesthetic of any wedding reception area and can act as a stage on which your florist can really put their skills on display with luxe arrangements that coordinate with your event's color palette and decor theme.
Wishing wells can also be used to raise money for charities that are special or important to you both like animal shelters, clean water initiatives, environmental organizations or homelessness projects. Instead of giving monetary presents that may go by the wayside, guests' donations will appear tangible through community impact donor-cewebrations created just for those special charities or organizations you focused your attentions on during the big day! You could even give out printed cards that list all different charitable options so people have an idea of what they are donating towards easy access!
