As I've said before we feel super lucky to be together an we'd like to share the smiles out & help other people through our day, here are a few ideas we're thinking about...Don't worry I'm not going to try to convert anyone into a veggie hippy! :D xxx
- A charity dress :) hopefully oxfam brides will be the answer! They get lots of new & sample dresses which is exciting! Alternatively one made from fairtrade/ethical materials or made in britain with good conditons for the workers would be nice :) Ive been a bit inspired to try n get more ethical clothing in general by a fellow bride to be who mentionned 'The Young King' by Oscar Wilde...its about a rich king who wants all this stuff 4 his coronation..n he dreams that the weaver making his cloak dies..n realises how bad it is..this quote stuck out to me 'Shall Joy wear what Grief has fashioned?' and so its good bye primark..this is a link to the full text..its a bit cheesey but you get the drift :) http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/YouKin.shtml n it really confirmed 4 me in general that I wanted 2 do the things wed talked about like fair trade etc...because a big celebration causing misery 2 others just seems a bit poo.
- Fair trade tea, coffee wine & chocolate. this is about why fair trade choc is important:http://www.stopthetraffik.org/getInvolved/act/chocolate/chocolate.aspx im so going to try harder to eat more fair trade choc now!!
- Free range eggs in the cooking..i need 2 ask mr caterer man to use these..ok helping chickens is not really helping people..but chickens like being happy :)
- gift list with grassroots/ oxfam unwrapped/save the children.
Hopefully we'l come up with more as we go along..
