Excited!

My bridal party is working on our Jack & Jill!
I know this because an event on FB was created, they added me so I can invite my friends, then they deleted me so I won't know anything else going on!

I can't wait until March 24th!

However I have no idea what a "Jack &  Jill" is lol. Help me?

A Jack & Jill is a party for the bride & groom, hosted by others (in this case, my bridal party) where it will raise money for the wedding. Instead of people buying us gifts and coming to a shower, they buy tickets for this event and come & party the night away. There is a DJ, raffles, door prizes, food, and fun. All proceeds will go to us to use for whatever we need for the wedding.

I know, a lot of people on the knot are against having parties to "raise money" for the couple, but this is just tradition in our area. Friends and family members will also bring their friends for a night out and to have a good time.

That sounds awesome. I was talking to my dad a few days ago and he described doing something like this back in the 70's for his group of friends. I think that's cool..I wish people did them still in my area.

They are so much fun! I've even been to a couple that I didn't even know the bride & groom. I think it's better than going to a bar for a night out. The last one I went to, I ended up winning a few of the raffle prizes. The raffles range from baskets of booze to tickets to ball games, to whatever else people want to donate!
