Bridal Shower Gifts - Choose Gifts From Plan Canada’s Gifts Of Hope Catalogue

You're planning a bridal shower for your best friend. The date has been picked, the cake ordered and your Google search has given you a gazillion bridal shower games to choose from. What about the bridal shower gifts? The prizes for the games? And the guests will want to know if there are particular bridal shower gifts the bride-to-be especially needs or wants.

The problem is your best friend (that's the bride, of course) has already told you she really doesn't need anything: she's not into lingerie and doesn't have any desire for more useless kitchen gadgets. As for wedding shower prizes ' well, who needs another bar of smelly soap or bath salts?

But, what if the bridal shower gifts and prizes could be not only useful, but meaningful? What if they could actually change lives? What if you could ask the guests to buy bridal shower gifts that could actually go to people who do need them? What if they could change the lives of children, of girls, of families? They can.

They're called Gifts of Hope. Each and every item is a gift that brings real change to the lives of real children and their families. They're all found in Plan Canada's Gifts of Hope catalogue.

It works like this. You choose a bridal shower gift from the catalogue. Let's say you purchase a goat, which costs $75. Across the world, in Bangladesh, a family receives that goat. The milk it provides brings essential proteins and nutrients, improving the health of the children and the adults in the family. The milk can also mean income: extra milk is sold to others in the community. The income means money for education and healthcare. Which in turn means hope for a better future, one that brings with it choices, and opportunities.

All of that from one bridal shower gift. Imagine the kind of change several bridal shower gifts would bring.

How do you let your guests know your best friend would prefer a Gift of Hope over a traditional bridal shower gift? Plan Canada has downloadable notification cards to enclose with the shower invitation, which include a link to the Gifts of Hope catalogue on Plan's website. You can also simply tell people. Tell them the bride would love to receive gifts that will really change lives.

Choose Gifts of Hope for unique bridal shower gifts and choose to give the day added meaning.
