Skip the Traditional Recipe Sharing

My sister is getting married next year so we have started to discuss her bridal shower.  She decided since she doesn't cook and most people forger not to bother with creating a collection of recipes.   So we have come up with two alternative ideas....
The first is to ask people to bring cleaning tricks to share.. like use this household product to get wine out of carpet and then supply that product.
The second idea is to ask everyone to bring their spare change to feed the honeymoon piggy bank.
Now since participation isn't always great with these extras we thought we would give away raffle tickets and create a basket to give away.  So instead of asking just for these items you can just say purchase raffle tickets for a great basket giveaway.  For every cleaning gift or $1 you get a ticket.   Other ideas could be stock the bar and for every bottle receive a raffle ticket.  Or every kitchen item brought in gets a ticket.
Hope this helps those planning showers :)
