Bridal Showers Themed around a Cause


Though an age-old custom, Bridal Showers are increasingly catching grip among the younger generation; more so, about different and unique themes. Ever thought of giving the Bridal Shower a charitable twist? Read on…
Clubbing a charitable cause with weddings was known until now. We have heard of the recently engaged bride and groom donating essentials to a charity organization or fruitfully investing in some particular social cause. The trend is going strong and is much appreciated on a wider scale.
Probably, the would-be Bride is associated with some social cause. Perhaps, she vehemently works for that cause too, on weekdays or weekends. So could the Groom be doing so! In fact, that would have been the linking factor between the Bride and the Groom. Either ways, if you are planning to throw a Bridal Shower for your sister or your best friend, you could tweak the Shower theme to compliment the Bride’s charitable spirit.
When it comes to holding Bridal Shower Charitable Party, you can take cues from the below mentioned variants. So that the would-be Bride is overwhelmed, but in a positive manner.
Volunteer for a cause!
The cause could be anyone of majority choice, or one that the bride herself endeavors. If the bridal shower is traditional and all girls, perhaps the ladies can get together to cook something and donate to the council Food Bank. If men are being involved (which is a newer trend, works toward quality time between the would-be couple) then a cause concerning a physical activity would do great. How’s an entire day at a daycare centre? There are ample options to choose from, and keeping the bride’s liking in mind, this is a great opportunity of benefiting the society in numerous ways.
Avail Online Services
There are many online charity favor portals that let guests donate money, clothes, hand-me-downs, etc. to a specific, needy organization. Alternately, you could also personally visit the places and donate physically. And if that’s not working out well with everyone, there is another option available too. Some online gifting services, allow the guests to individually donate some cash under the brides name. On the day of the event, the bride receives the lump sum, minus a percentage already agreed by the guests to be sent out to a charity. This way, the bride gets the upper hand in utilizing the money in buying essential stuff.
Registered Charitable Gifts
And some times, gifting becomes indispensable. Most charitable organizations set gifting shops that feature hand-made articles or supplies mostly connected with a cause in one way or the other. Guests can be intimated to buy gifts from such stores, where a percent of the gift article goes to that charitable foundation. If organized well, you could avoid gifting same items between the guests for the bridal shower charitable party. These stores also feature online versions; hence the extra physical task is cut down! Additionally, one could rent a nonprofits space for the bridal shower event to be held.
