Weddings are all about a celebration of life together, but with National Wedding Day and Celebrate and Give, you can help make a real difference to the lives of children and young people. Here are our top five fun ways for celebrating and fundraising:
1) Hold a party and charge an entry fee or put a price on food and drink.
Here are some ideas for themes:
· recreate your honeymoon, stag or hen do
· invite all your wedding guests to a barbecue
· have a trial run of your wedding day
· if you're already married you could recreate your wedding day
· remake 'The Wedding Singer' with karaoke or even a live band.

2) Hold a wedding auction
· sell your wedding dress, shoes or bridesmaids' dresses to the highest bidder
· find homes for any unwanted presents or things you just don't use anymore.

3) Have a wedding cake sale

· invite your friends for a wedding-themed tea party

4) Look to the future
If your wedding is coming up, why not use our personalised wedding favour cards instead of sugared almonds? Or use the NSPCC donation cards so your guests can make a donation to the NSPCC instead of buying you gifts.

5) Something simple
A great way to raise money is simply to set up an online fundraising page and ask your friends and family to donate online to the NSPCC. You can easily set up a page at Virgin Money Giving or JustGiving.
