Solidarity Baptism-Birth favors: which one to choose?

The time has come to celebrate the birth of your baby, have you decided to give solidarity favors but don’t know which ones to choose? Here are some tips!

The arrival of a baby is always a great joy to share with friends and relatives. The first occasion to celebrate him and welcome him/bless him is certainly his baptism or the party for his birth . On the occasion of this event it is customary to thank the guests who participated or who gave the little one a gift with a favor. But which?

In special ceremonies such as baptism or birth party, there are usually three types of wedding favors that parents turn to :

1. classic, which are the ones we all know that can be purchased in specialized shops for ceremonial items;
2. do it yourself, which are homemade wedding favors with simple or recycled materials;
3. solidarity, or those wedding favors whose proceeds are donated to support charitable organizations or projects.

Why choose to give Solidarity Favors for the Birth

The supportive wedding favor is a gift that parents have been enjoying more and more in recent years. The motivations are not so much of an aesthetic type, but mainly of an altruistic type.
If in fact solidarity favors are not the most beautiful, indeed they are usually very sober and simple, we can certainly say that they are the most “good” as they are the means to help those who need it most.

By choosing a supportive wedding favor, therefore, parents have the opportunity to color a special day with solidarity.

Solidarity Baptism favors: which one to choose?

Solidarity favors for baptisms  are generally offered by international organizations, Italian non-profit organizations or charities among the most varied.
But how to choose one reality instead of another? Following the heart!

Among the many organizations you can choose those that support medical-scientific research such as Telethon, Airc, Aism, Ail, those that help unfortunate populations living in war or in extreme conditions such as Emergency and Doctors Without Borders, those that help animals and the planet such as Enpa, GreenPeace or Wwf and those that help children such as Save the Children, Unicef, Telefono Azzurro, Amici dei Bambini, Dottor Sorriso and many others.

Well, since today we’re talking about birth favors, I’ve selected for you some very nice baptism favors proposed by associations/non-profit organizations that help children.

La Giostra, Solidarity Favor Clown Therapy

ViviamoInPositivo is a Social Promotion Association born with the aim of forming clown voluntary groups in Italy and in some foreign countries for Clown Therapy, in order to bring joy, good humor and relief wherever there is suffering and pain.

Among the supportive favors that the Mayer foundation makes available, there is this very nice La ladybird favor . It consists of a shaped internal cardboard available with a special baptismal phrase and an external cardboard available in six color variants. The pin is optional and is included in the donation. The sentence is:
On the occasion of my Baptism I thought of helping the children of the Meyer Children’s Hospital in Florence. Their smile is the best way to remember this special day with you.

The culletta, Solidarity Favor Peter Pan Onlus

The Great House of Peter Pan  is a reception hub with thirty-two housing units for children with cancer (being treated at the Bambino Gesù pediatric hospital) and their families.

Among the wedding favors that AIL offers, the “matchbox” (in which you obviously don’t have to put matches but sugared almonds) is certainly the one I liked the most.
It is a very simple box to assemble but very cute with drawings of animals. It is made up of two elements, an external one printed and personalized with the event data and a generic internal one.
The wedding favor is delivered to your home with the instructions for the optimal set-up but there is also the possibility of having them sent to you already assembled.
