Jack and Jill

Maybe it's just down in Southern Ontario but I had only ever heard the term Stag & Doe until signing up for this website!

I have heard things like buck and doe, stag and doe, social... But we went with jack and jill.

View quoted message I'm originally from southern Ontario, so shags were funny to me. It's crazy how anyone can go to support the couple vs a buck & doe where only friends and family go.

We had a Stag and Doe that his parents put together for us in Sault Ste Marie. I'm used to having a "shag" just like Danyelle. Stag and Does are completely different than our shags though. Wasn't what I was expecting at all lol but we still made money which is a plus

Thanks, Daphne. Most people will still recognize the name "Jack and Jill" and will understand what goes on at this gathering. Introducing a new name could leave you having to answer repeatedly, "What's that?"

View quoted message Good point! And love the examples!

I think you could probably use any male/female combination you want to such as Ken and Barbie, Lucy and Ricky, Fred and Wilma, Ram and Ewe, etc.

In Thunder Bay they call them Shags which always made me think of Austin Powers lol

I think Stag and Doe is the other term for it.
