Hi we are wanting to do charity favours and are planning on getting some poppy pin badges for the men (we have already got cancer research ones for women) as we have both had people serving in the military and we have both lost family to cancer. However I have a predicament. British Legion do a plain poppy pin and one with the year on. And I can't decide which to get!

The plain one is something everyone can wear again but then the one with the year on will remind people of our wedding more.

We are getting married in June so it is well before people would normally get one so I am torn!

What does anyone think? xx

I agree, the one with the year on makes it personal to your wedding. People may already have a plain pin badge but the one with the year seems more special xxx

Great thanks. As i was typing it I was leaning that way as put down my reasons but still wanted the confirmation I was doing the right thing! xx

Year on... if its generic they may not buy poppies each year.

(BTW... would they be producing the pin badges in June for that November?)

Yeah you can order stuff all year round. Steal away pennieb! The more money for charities the better and we can share our happiness and do something good for others at the same time then great! xx

Just so you know, you can get the dated poppy pins in bulk from February/March time
