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.
