Has anyone been to or had a Jack & Jill? I don’t plan on having one I just think it’s so absurdly tacky. Got invited to one a few years ago where I literally didn’t know the couple but their friends invited me and had to pay $25 to get in. Also was in a wedding once where the couple had one and I was required to made a gift basket to raffle off, it cost like $200 and I was 18. Couple ended up getting divorced 1 yr later

i’ve only heard about them by people talking about them online and i think they’re the most ridiculous thing i’ve heard of wedding related. have the wedding you can afford and stop passing costs on to your guests and random people who aren’t even invited to your wedding

people thinking they deserve a big wedding even though they can’t afford it so they force family and friends to help pay….get real

And have been invited to plenty where I wasn’t even invited to the wedding, ew. People that just wanted my money

Is this just a co-ed bridal shower? I’ve never been to one personally but have been invited and attended many bridal showers. Totally wrong to invite someone who isn’t invited to the wedding, and wild to charge $25 to attend 😂 I can’t believe people have done that to you!

Kind of sort of, it’s more like a wedding fundraiser disguised as a party but you pay to get in and participate in raffles and games that cost money. All the money goes to the couple. It’s popular with couples who can’t afford the wedding they want so they’ll fundraise for it and invite literally anyone

It's common in some areas/cultures but not in others. I've never gone and didn't have one ourselves.

I think they’re popular in eastern canada and some regions of new england. they’re so strange to me. having a fundraiser for an expensive wedding you can’t afford…just elope?

Now recently I got a offer frm wipro. here also I did not tell that I was earlier termined by wipro.If wipro asks me to provide NSR details during my joining, does NSR have my previous exp in their db? Does it affect my joining with wipro?

My partner and I are planning to elope. We want the wedding and the trip that will go with it to be for us. That being said, we want to throw a party of some kind to celebrate with our friends.
