Hit a Homerun While Hosting a Jack and Jill Wedding Shower

With your wedding fast approaching, the last thing you probably want to worry about is a bridal shower. Many brides-to-be actually dislike bridal showers because they are the solo main attraction. Not only can bridal showers be stressful, but they can turn into gossip parties with the upcoming wedding as the number one topic. Who needs mother and soon to be mother-in-law disagreeing over wedding centerpiece flower arrangements at the bridal shower? A fun alternative to having a bridal shower is to have a Jack and Jill Wedding Shower. A Jack and Jill is an informal gathering of friends and family to celebrate the approaching wedding event for both the bride and groom. It is a popular trend in the Northeast, especially during the summer months when the Jack and Jill Wedding Shower can take place outdoors.

Planning a Jack and Jill is actually quite simple. If you choose an outdoor theme, you need to book a local pavilion a few months ahead of the event. The cost of renting a pavilion is usually about one to two hundred dollars. As an informal event, you can either just cook hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, or have each family guest bring a dish. A potluck is enjoyable for all and provides a delectable feast to honor the bride and groom. With a cheap budget, this Jack and Jill Wedding Shower can turn into an explosion of fun!
