Alternative to giving Gifts
for those who have most things

Todays modern bride and groom are changing. By the time their wedding occurs, often they already have all the furniture, household goodies and tradional wedding gifts, they simply do not need more stuff to clutter their marital home.

The Australian Red Cross Blood Service has come up with a fantastic and unique idea for a wedding registry with a difference. A life-saving difference.

The Gift of Life

Why not ask your wedding guests to pledge to donate blood. Who needs another toaster or an ugly vase to gather dust? Donating blood is a great way to give something back to the community and to those who need it most.

We know that the demand for blood is on the increase. With advances in medical research and treatments, the need for blood and blood products is predicted to more than double in the next decade. Blood is needed every single day, by thousands of people around the country. Most of us know someone who has needed blood, whether it was for surgery, cancer, pregnancy or child birth or perhaps an accident. Most of us take it for granted that there will always be blood there when we need it.

So chose something different for you wedding and make a difference. If every guest pledges to donate blood, each guest can save up to three lives.
