Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce asked guests to donate to charity instead of giving gifts
The couple requested charitable donations for their July wedding, with the Hancock County Humane Foundation receiving a contribution from Kelce's agent and his wife.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce asked wedding guests to make charitable donations rather than bring traditional gifts, according to a photo posted by the Hancock County Humane Foundation in West Virginia. The foundation confirmed that attorney Mike Simon, Kelce’s longtime agent, and his wife Lisa contributed a donation as their wedding gift.
The foundation shared an Instagram image showing the couple smiling with the Simons and described them as “beautiful people” with “generous hearts.” The ceremony took place on July 3 at Madison Square Garden and was attended by about 1,000 guests, including friends such as Selena Gomez, Patrick Mahomes and Gigi Hadid.
Kansas City Chiefs teammate George Kittle told “Extra TV” in June that the couple had a strict “no gifts” rule for attendees. While guests did not receive traditional presents, the rehearsal dinner guests were given champagne flutes set in diamond-adorned velvet boxes bearing the couple’s initials, and wedding attendees received white handkerchiefs embroidered with the couple’s logo and a lyric from Swift’s 2014 song “Blank Space.” Raffle prizes at the event included items such as a Chanel bag.
Swift and Kelce, who began dating in the summer of 2023, have kept most wedding details private. A press release noted that they wore Christian Dior Haute Couture for the ceremony, with Kelce’s brother Jason serving as best man and his three nieces acting as flower girls. The couple announced their engagement in August 2025 via Instagram, posting photos of the proposal in Kelce’s backyard.
