Missionary Shower: Ideas & Invitation Ideas

[Vickie Button]

I'm working on a shower for a couple going on the mission field to New Guinea. Anyone have any ideas.....how about an invitation. I'm pretty new to CS so I'm not sure how to find info on a missionary shower.

Hi Vickie,

This past fall I did a show/fundraiser for a missions group in Cuba. One of our local churches was in Cuba in April so they came back with ideas of what the kitchens needed in Cuba such as knives, cutting boards, Ultimate Mandoline, Oven Mitts, microfiber towels, etc. So people came to the show (did it as an open house so they could come and go as they were able) and the ordered some items to be sent to Cuba and some items for themselves. Then the host benefits were all used to get additional products for Cuba. Once the order came in, everything was compiled and when the next person went to Cuba they took it with them.

This really worked out well and the missionaries received tons of nice items. If this sounds like something you are looking for, let me know and I can email you a copy of what we put on the posters and in the church bulletin for advertising.

Thanks so much. I would love any information you have. This family is on their way to Papau New Guinea to support the missionaries there. She's getting a wish list together for me. What kind of invitation did you send out. I've put one together but would love to see what you did. Did you do an acutal shower? Thanks so much for responding!
