wording help from clever people please

Cezzabelle

We are doing charity pin badges for our favours.

The "favour" is the pin badge so its not "in lieu of a favour"....im trying to sort the wording for the card. (obv it has details of the charity on it) i kinda wanted a play on words..something along the lines of " a favour for a favour" then asking people to wear their badge and do something but i'm kinda drawing a blank on what the favour we are asking is.

I was gonna say something like "a favour for a favour ....please wear your badge and smile knowing you are raising awareness for a great charity" But i dunno if thats a bit lame...anyone got any bright ideas. I like the idea of a "favour for a favour"

(BTW we have canvassed the opinion of several of our guests and as a many of them are either involved in charities or have used the services of one recently we are happy that no one is going to be offended/annoyed/miss the sugared almonds, so I'm not proposing -wedding joke- that this thread is about whether or not we should do this, just asking for help with the wording if thats ok? ):)

I'm thinking hard..... :think:

What's the name of the charity? I'm hoping that'll provide some inspiration!

Lovely idea, by the way!

I'm doing pin badges as DBF has just recovered from cancer, but most of our guests are elderly and won't understand the word bling! Can u help with an alternative poem?

How about; just off the top of my head

Sugared almonds are the tradition
However, we decided on a mission
A gift to charity is our gift to you
A favour for a favour as a thank you


Hmmm. not so sure about it now I've read it back
