Hey all, I just got engaged and my fiance and I are planning a May '08 wedding. I came up with ideas for the wedding favors last night: a little bucket with a ribbon on it with our names and the date on it, and a tag that says a donation has been made to the Blood:Water Mission in their name. (Get it? Bucket, water? ) What do you all think? Good idea? We're looking at close to 200 guests, so I figure it'll be a nice-sized donation...B:M is super-close to my heart, and I want to help out any way I can. __________________ "Let nothing disturb thee, nothing affright thee.

And since you'll have B:W written on the tag, maybe that will spark curiosity in some of your guests and they'll make a contribution on their own.

Thanks! Yeah, on the tag I'm going to feature the website so the folks can go straight there for the information. __________________ "Let nothing disturb thee, nothing affright thee.

First of all, congratulations. Second of all, I think this is a really interesting idea. While it seems like an unusual place to show that sort of activism, I don't think that it's a bad thing at all. If you do this, I'd love to see a picture of how they turn out.

There have actually been a number of couples that have supported BWM through their weddings . . . some of them have "registered" for a well in lieu of gifts from friends and family. I think this is a cool idea and I love the thought of using teeny little buckets. __________________ http://www.overduemedia.com/strips/20030601.gif
