Hosting the Ultimate Jack & Jill (Stag & Hen) Party for the Engaged Couple

Hosting a Jack & Jill party, also known as Stag & Doe in Canada, and Buck & Doe in the United Kingdom, can be a lot of fun to plan to create an ultimate wedding shower for the engaged couple. A Jack & Jill party is a wedding shower for the engaged couple to help raise money for their upcoming wedding. Usually it's the bridal party that is hosting the Jack & Jill party, but any family member or even the engaged couple can create, plan and host their own Jack & Jill party.

Jack & Jill parties usually have an entrance fee that guest pay to attend the engaged couple's wedding shower. In order to figure out the entrance fee, you will need to make a guest list and find a place where you would like to have the Jack & Jill party for the engaged couple. You may want to have the party at a private home or pay money to rent out a facility. Next, you will want to add the cost of the invitations, food, drinks, games, disc jockey, party favors, or whatever you would like to purchase for the Jack & Jill party. After you figure out your entire cost, divide that amount by the approximate number of guests, add a little extra to give to the engaged couple, and this should be your entrance free that you can charge for the guests to attend the Jack & Jill party.

Invitations are an important step when hosting a Jack & Jill party for the engaged couple's wedding shower. StagTicket offers personalized Jack & Jill invitations in the form of tickets to send to the guests that is customized with your event information, including the date, time, type of dinner, entrance fee, and other information needed. There are many styles to choose from, including an invitation ticket where you can add the engaged couple's photo.

Besides the entrance fee, there are many other ways to make the Jack & Jill party for the engaged couple to be spectacular and a night they will remember. One way is to ask each guest to bring a unique unwrapped gift of their choice to be auctioned off at the Jack & Jill party. When the guest brings a gift, place them on a table to be auctioned off after dinner. Another great way to raise money during the Jack & Jill party for the engaged couple is to auction off tickets for the guests to dance with Jack or Jill (the bride and groom).

Carnival games are another great way to earn money for the engaged couple during their Jack & Jill party. Party Outfitters is a place where you can buy or rent carnival games nationwide. They have over 30 different carnival games that you can choose from. Have your guests play for raffle tickets and have one big prize for each game and at the end of the evening, the big prizes can be raffled off. Big prizes could be a gift card to a restaurant, movie gift card, a luxury gift basket of beauty products or special products for men, or whatever you would like to have for a big prize for each of the carnival game.

Hosting a Jack & Jill party takes a lot of preparation, so make sure you create a list and ask for help from family and friends the day of the Jack & Jill party. You will need lots of help with the auction, food, and games for the Jack & Jill party. The engaged couple will be very pleased as well as the guests when you host this ultimate Jack & Jill party for the engaged couple's wedding shower.
