Jack and jill 2017

Chelsea, on May 19, 2017 at 09:25 Posted in Before the wedding 2 21

Hey guys! I just had my jack and jill this past Saturday and it was a huge success! We managed to raise $4100 which pays for my whole honeymoon to Jamaica and we have an extra grand to either use towards excursions while we are there or to put towards other payments still owing on the wedding! I didn't get to take photos of the place being all set up because I was so busy but I have photos of some of the wedding party, guests, some of the raffle baskets and decorations before being fully finished! It ended up being a casino theme as well!
We had 14 raffle baskets/prizes! We had a TV, a coffee basket, a tea basket, a lotto basket, a gardening basket, a wine basket, a chocolate lovers basket, a candy lovers basket, a craft beer basket, a games basket, a kitchen basket, a date night basket, an adult colour book basket and a scentsy basket!
For door prizes we had a cake lollies arrangement and a car detailing type basket with a table that comes with it to put all your cleaning items on which my grandma actually brought to the jack and jill and so it was a last minute addition! We had a $100 gift certificate for a door prize as well towards a photoshoot with a local photographer but because we got the car one that day, we decided to have a dance competition to win the gift certificate and myself and my fiance got to pick the winners!
For food we did lasagna, caesar salad, dinner rolls and then we had chips on all the tables for people to snack on during the night!
For games and activities we had toonie toss, crown and anchor, dart poker, crazy jokers, a 50/50 draw, coin toss, a nail and hammer game and a jail cell where you could pay to put people in jail and pay for them to get out early!
For dart poker we had 3 prizes, first place was a set of jays tickets, 2nd place was a date night basket, 3rd place was a $25 walmart gift card! For the nail and hammer game, we had girls vs girls and guys vs guys so we had a girl and guy winner! The girls won a bath and body works basket, the guys won a car detailing basket!

    I've never heard of a jack and jill until now. Is that in lieu of a shower or in lieu of or the same as a social?

    The biggest money maker for us were 3 things: We did a toonie toss which went on for a good 25 minutes, the dart poker board (we did top 3 hands wins a prize), and then the jail cell was a hit. Guests had never heard of it and people were constantly in that jail cell. Guests could put the bride and groom in there to which they definitely enjoyed! For the 50/50 draw we charged $2 a ticket, $5 for 3 tickets, and $10 for an arms length. We used the same prices for guests to buy raffle tickets for all the baskets!

    I had an amazing time! I was extremely exhausted and setting up was stressful because every 2 seconds someone different was asking me "where do you want this" or "how are we supposed to do this" or "can you please take care of this" ! So everyone was relying on me to set everything up and so I didn't get a break to myself! I snuck out for 10 minutes while everyone was eating and sat in my friends truck and ended up setting off the alarm while falling asleep!
