On-line gift list service Give It has launched a London version of its Wedding List
service to benefit charities that work in London.
The London Wedding List has been
launched to cater for the forthcoming wedding season and aims to provide a practical
alternative for the many London couples who already have all they need in their 
home.

Couples can sign up to one of a number of ready-made gift lists that contain donations
to a variety of charities, including charities such as St Mungo’s, Shooting Star
Children’s Hospice and the London Wildlife Trust. Couples select a group of charities
and their family and friends then select a gift to the charity of their choice.

The new service is operated by Give It, the not-for-profit organisation behind a
number of charitable initiatives. Andy Hickey, who heads the operation, said: “we’ve
been able to bring together a variety of London-based charities to provide a great
option for London couples to have a charitable wedding list in 2007, either using
one of our charity gift lists on its’ own or alongside a traditional gift list.”

The London service was launched folllowing the success of The Scottish Wedding List,
launched at the beginning fo 2007.

All the gift list services operated by Give It offer a selection of charities rather
than expecting couples to pick one. Andy adds “we continue to get feedback from 
marrying couples, most of whom don’t have a favourite charity, that they really 
like the ability to select a group of charities, knowing that they’re giving their
guests some choice in where their money goes. As well as the potential efficiencies
in marketing a service generating funds for lots of charities, the services mirror
traditional gift lists in providing choices for couples and guests alike”.
